Nevada Comprehensive Pain Center Issues Call To Action: Winter Sweaters, Blankets For Seniors

LAS VEGAS - Nov. 17, 2014 - PRLog -- Nevada Comprehensive Pain Center is issuing an urgent call to action for Southern Nevada residents and businesses to generously donate new sweaters or blankets for local senior citizens who lack funding to purchase these basic winter survival items.

         Donations for the “2014 Sweaters For Seniors” clothing drive may be dropped off  through December 13^th at four Nevada Comprehensive Pain Center locations: 2809 W. Charleston Blvd., Las Vegas; 7730 W. Cheyenne Ave., Suite 107, Las Vegas; 1655 W. Horizon Ridge Pkwy., Henderson; and 1569 E. Flamingo Road, Las Vegas.

         “Hyperthermia is one of the leading causes of death among senior citizens,” said Dr. Alain Coppel, founder of NVCPC. “With the freezing temperatures of winter rapidly approaching, many of our seniors lack the proper clothing to keep warm. A simple gift of a new sweater or blanket will not only save lives, but also warm the hearts of all those who choose to donate this holiday season.”

         Sweaters and blankets must be new, unopened and in the plastic. For more information on how to donate, please contact Janet Zak, Director of Marketing at: 702-476-9999.

NVCPC recently sponsored its first annual “Community Appreciation Day” in which some 300 healthcare professionals, seniors, politicians and current and former patients came together to help raise funds to benefit the Las Vegas Opportunity Village charity.

The event, which was free and open to the public, featured complimentary breakfast, entertainment, a tour of the NVCPC Summerlin office and a raffle. Participating healthcare vendors also were available to answer questions about health-related products and services.
