When the earthquake hit Haiti a few weeks ago it was hard for everyone to see the devastation. For one boy in our family it was personal. Nine year old MJ Salois lived in Haiti until he was five and still has relatives there. Within 48 hours of the quake MJ was at Saltzer asking for donation to send to Haiti. Initially 50 pounds of medical supplies, and at a later date much more medical supplies wer shipped to support the relief effort.

MJ also put up collection jars at Saltzer. Our generous patients and staff donated over $160 in change to help pay for the expense of shipping the supplies

Have you ever noticed someone with tiny red or blue veins on their face, nose, or legs?  These are called spider veins, or telangiectasia, and they are very common in both men and women.   At Saltzer Vein clinic, we have several different modalities available to eliminate these veins.  With our specialized laser we are able to make these veins disappear.  Also, we have the capability of performing sclerotherapy.  Sclerotherapy entails injecting an FDA approved chemical into the vein.  The chemical irritates the vein walls to where they stick together and close.   With either of these methods, or a combination of both, the results are remarkable.  Several sessions may be required however, in order to obtain the most perfect outcome.  Of course, the best way to help prevent further spider veins is to wear medical grade compression stockings .  If you are worried about your spider veins and want to do something about them, give us a call at 489-VEIN.  Visit our website at www.saltzervein.com for more information.

Saltzer Medical Group donates to local homeless program

(Caldwell) – Saltzer Medical Group will present a check for $10,000 to the C.A.T.C.H. of Canyon County program on Tuesday, January 5th, 2009 at 215 E. Hawaii Avenue in Nampa. The donation will be presented to City of Caldwell Mayor Garret Nancolas at 2p.m. Members of the public are invited to celebrate this gift and hear about the success of C.A.T.C.H. in fighting homelessness amongst families in Canyon County. A portion of the gift will be used to serve families in the Boise C.A.T.C.H. program.

“We are overwhelmed by the generosity of Saltzer Medical Group and their employees and can’t thank them enough for the contribution they have made to needy families in our community,” said Mayor Nancolas. “This donation will assist us in providing rental assistance and much-needed case management, ensuring that our clients can begin supporting themselves and their families.”

“Saltzer Medical Group encourages employee involvement in charitable organizations by matching 100% any donations made by their physicians,” continued Mayor Nancolas. “Wouldn’t it be great if other businesses could implement programs like this in their own organizations? What a difference that could make to our families.”

“Saltzer Medical Group is proud to support the CATCH program. As a group we agreed that CATCH is an organization that fits the mission of Saltzer Medical Group because they not only impact individual families, but entire communities,” added Dr. Tom Patterson, chair of Saltzer’s Business Development Committee. “We encourage other businesses and individuals to support this worthwhile cause.”

C.A.T.C.H. of Canyon County was formed in July of 2009 and is based on a successful housing program created and administered by the City of Boise, in partnership with business and faith-based communities. The program, which provides housing and intensive case management to homeless families for up to six months, has had great success in helping their clients find employment, address the issues that led to the homeless episode and learn tools to achieve self-sufficiency. Government entities donate in-kind administrative support and the rental assistance and case management is funding by private business donations, grants and financial support from churches around the valley. The Canyon County program is currently serving thirteen families, with a total of 46 men, women and children. Those interested in learning more about C.A.T.C.H. can contact Christy Thomas, Program Coordinator, at 455-7138.
