LISTEN HERE:
The Delaware County Board of Supervisors has announced a collaboration between the U.S. military and the County of Delaware for an Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) program. This program is supported by the
U.S. Department of Defense and aims to prepare military personnel for potential future deployment missions both within the country and worldwide.
From July 11th to the 19th, the program will offer various services to Delaware County residents.
You can simply walk in and take advantage of these services, which include free health exams, sports physicals for youth, eye exams and glasses prescriptions, dental exams, and even veterinary care for household pets.
Radio Catskill’s Patricio Robayo had a chance to speak to the director for Delaware Planning, Shelly Johnson-Bennett.
Patricio first asked Shelly, if this was the first time an event like this has been held in Delware County….
Just heard about the Innovative Readiness Training program happening here in Delaware County and it sounds like such a unique opportunity! ???? The military teaming up with our community to provide free health services, including dental and eye exams, sports physicals, and even vet care for pets, from July 11th-19th is something you don’t see every day. It’s great to see the military prepare for missions while offering a helping hand to locals. Has anyone checked it out yet or planning to? Wondering how long the lines might be for those eye exams ???? and if there’s a limit on how many pets you can bring? ????????
