The United Spinal Association is pleased to announce that its Wheelchair Medic division will conduct a FREE Wheelchair and Mobility Scooter Safety and Repair Clinic. Date: Thursday, February 19, 2009
Wheelchairs need maintenance just like cars do. Getting regular tune-ups helps keep a person’s wheelchair safe and functioning properly and helps prevent major problems from developing. A Wheelchair Medic "10-Point Check Up" will be provided for all people who take advantage of this opportunity. It will include a check of the following: |
|
| 1. Rear tires 2. Front castors and forks 3. Wheel locks 4. Upholstery and arm pads 5. Frame integrity 6. Folding mechanism, if applicable 7. Battery and charger power 8. Bearings 9. Nuts and bolts 10. Safety equipment. |
 |
|
Upon completion of the “tune-up” Wheelchair Medic technicians can advise consumers of necessary repairs. If repairs are needed, the consumer can schedule an appointment with Wheelchair Medic to perform the work at a later date (10% discount coupons will be available for parts and/or new sales) or with another repair service. About Wheelchair Medic About United Spinal Association For over 60 years United Spinal has, through its direct service programs and advocacy efforts, promoted the concept of appropriate and safe wheelchairs and mobility devices for all people who require these empowering technologies.

This clinic is sponsored by a generous grant from the Aetna Foundation. "Aetna and the Aetna Foundation are pleased and proud to help bring this important safety inspection and repair clinic to area residents," said Steven Logan, President of Aetna’s Northeast Region. "We urge our members and others to take advantage of these free services to help ensure their own safety and mobility, or that of their loved ones." 
The mission of Wheelchair Medic is to keep people with disabilities mobile at all times. Our main facility is located in Fort Totten, NY, but we use a fleet of five repair vehicles to perform house calls, allowing us to complete most repairs at our customers’ homes. Our motto is “we’re mobile so you can be too.” You can visit Wheelchair Medic at |
