It’s time to clean out those closets! If you have any gently used arm slings, knee braces, immobilizers, ankle braces, or boots to donate to the school district, we will take them! Because of summer hours and construction at the district, these donations can be dropped of to Iowa Physical Therapy (108 1st St. SE, Mount Vernon, IA 52314) from 8 am – 4 pm, Monday – Friday.
Thank you in advance for donating to the district! … See MoreSee Less
