60+ and Healthy Foot Care Clinics

 

Due to COVID-19 safety concerns, 60+ and Healthy Foot Care Clinics are currently on hold. Wright County Public Health is actively working on plans to offer these services again with additional safety measures in place for our consumers and our staff. An update will be provided when the situation changes.


Wright County Public Health offers foot care to seniors and individuals with a health condition or physical hindrance who are unable to provide adequate foot care for themselves. The clinics are staffed with trained personnel and always have a Public Health Nurse on-site. The 60+ and Healthy Foot Care Clinics are present in nine cities throughout the county on a bi-monthly basis. The cost of the clinics is $15 per visit; those unable to pay will not be denied services.  No appointments.  First come, first served.  Welcome at any community location.

For more information, call 763-682-7468.
