Field Trip Health (Now Stella Center) reposted this
"I am thrilled that we can bring this procedure, which is used by the U.S. military, to the city of Chicago to help combat the ongoing battle of suicide among first responders. Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) treatment has been life-changing for many of our Chicago police officers. I've heard firsthand from officers who have undergone the procedure and seen dramatic improvements in their mental health and well-being. This isn't being discussed as a 'cure' for PTSD, but another powerful and effective option for city employees. By making this cutting-edge treatment accessible, we are offering Chicago residents a vital tool in their fight against the debilitating effects of PTSD, anxiety, and depression—conditions that often go untreated or inadequately addressed. This is about giving our heroes the care they need and deserve so they can heal and continue serving our communities with the strength and resilience that defines them." - Alderman Anthony Napolitano
