Salus University’s Hearing Vision Balance Clinic, (HVBC) recently treated its first patient, Stephen Bachovin, a US Air Force veteran and coordinator of veterans programming at the Community College of Philadelphia’s Veterans Resource Office.
The Veterans Readiness Initiative (VRI), a joint effort between Salus University’s Osborne College of Audiology and Pennsylvania College of Optometry, with external partners, Corporal Michael J. Crescenz VA Medical Center Rehabilitation Medicine Services, and Veterans Resource Centers at Community College of Philadelphia and Montgomery County Community College, provides community screening events free for veterans, to identify potential vision, auditory, or balance issues.
If problems are detected during the screening, or if a comprehensive exam is needed, veterans are referred to the HVBC at Salus University.
