Healing With Hyperbarics is Supporting Veterans in Fargo
ealing With Hyperbarics in Fargo has become a lifeline for veterans struggling with the invisible wounds of service. Veterans suffering from PTSD, depression, chronic pain, and brain injuries have found renewed hope through hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) at this clinic. Cass County Veterans Service Officer Chris Deery has been working with the clinic for two years now since grant funding opened up to help veterans receive treatment. The specific grant fund that was originally available was able to help seven veterans receive 20-40 HBOT treatments before funding dried up. Now, they're looking for funding to help more service veterans. "There’s also a nonprofit willing to help us out," Deery said. "But we need funders to contribute so we can support veterans on the state’s waitlist.”

Veteran Testimonials "It was very effective—I now have a full time job. I used to only be able to work full time for 3 months and then take 2-3 months off for my mental health, I was able to go to college to further my career, and now I am getting married soon. I still have some ups and downs, but I can manage it all and still have a life now." – R.O.
"It has helped completely, and I have no more suicidal thoughts, I still deal with depression still, but am doing great. I'm able to participate in life, and I owe it all to Hyperbarics. I tell all my friends and family about Hyperbarics and it’s hard not to get choked up about how it has completely changed my life and gave me a second chance to live." -I.O.
