(Re) Opening Day!

It was a sunny, if chilly day last week when Milwaukee Veterans Acupuncture (MVA) had it’s grand reopening.  After a year of reorganization and regrouping, we have settled in our new home at Easter Seals of Southeastern Wisconsin, in Waukesha. 

The clinic will be open every Tuesday, with group sessions at 11am, 12noon, and 1pm. (Easter Seals has given us some wiggle room with available space and time, so we have room to grow.)

Our meet, greet and sign-in room is the DryHootch Forward Operating Base (FOB), right off the main lobby of the building. Larry is the DryHootch employee there in the FOB, and friendly backup for the MVA staff. He was first in line to receive some ear acupuncture on opening day! 

Our turnout was small, but the vets who came were regulars from the original DryHootch coffee shop clinic, where we started in 2012. It was a pleasant reunion. We hope to have more such reunions and as many new faces as the place can hold!

NOTE: There is MVA fundraiser in the planning stages - details to follow soon!

MVA Clinic Has a New Home!

On Monday February 4, 2013 

the Milwaukee Veterans Acupuncture clinic 

opens its doors at its new home!

 Milwaukee County War Memorial Center

750 N. Lincoln Memorial Drive

Milwaukee, WI 53202 

ROOM 413

(in the board room of Dryhootch.org)

The clinic will be open on Mondays from 3:00pm to 6:00pm with three sessions (3pm, 4pm, and 5pm). 

We have arranged for FREE PARKING for our visitors in the lot north of the War Memorial Center.  When you drive in to park, just tell the parking attendant that you are there to visit Dryhootch.  (You may be asked to sign in too.)

Both the interior and exterior or the War Memorial Center comply with all ADA regulations.  Handicapped parking is available on the west side of the building on Lincoln Memorial Drive (at the main entrance that faces west.)

Hopefully, with this new larger space, we can expand our services and reach out to more of our military and their families.  Pictures of the new location will be posted to the MVA site soon!
