A partnership between Gannon University and Chosen has launched the Gannon Wellness Clinic.

The clinic welcomes underserved community members who may not have the insurance to purchase needed medical equipment or who remain on waiting lists.

Gannon faculty and students collaborate to assess client's individual medical needs before recommending the proper equipment from power wheelchairs to canes to wound care supplies.

"Chosen for years has been handing out this equipment, but we needed more expertise to really help the individual for them to understand even how to use the piece of equipment or are we giving them the proper piece of equipment," said Rick King, executive director of Chosen. "Gannon's expertise plus the students giving their time here is just such a huge blessing, not only to us as a ministry but how that will pour out to our neighbors."

The Gannon Wellness Clinic is located at 3638 W. 26th St. in Erie.
