On October 2nd, 2012 Drs. Geoffrey Besso and David Yates of Besso Clinic of Chiropractic on Darrow Road in Stow, Ohio gave away complementary relief to their current patients as part of their seventh annual Patient Appreciation Day. Then, on October 4th and 5th, Drs. Besso and Yates opened the practice to new patients, offering complimentary consultations, exams, and x-rays. In exchange for these visits, Besso Clinic collected financial and food donations to benefit The Haven of Rest rescue mission and the Peanut Butter and Jelly Outreach for Mason School of Akron, OH.

The week was a great success! Over 130 patients and their families participated in this event, donating nearly 400 pounds of nonperishable food items, and over $2500 to the local charities.

“We have been in Stow for seven years and it has really flown by. We feel extremely blessed to have the opportunity not only to help our patients, but to love them and support a couple of great ministries along the way” says Dr. Geoffrey Besso.

Besso Clinic would also like to thank the many local businesses who partnered with them to make this event a success: Bellacino’s Pizza and Grinders, Burger King, Chick-fil-a, Consigners Collection, Dunkin Donuts, Evelyn Dickerson Hair Design, The Lockview Restaurant and Bar, The Middlefield Banking Company, Minuteman Press, Old Carolina Barbecue Company, Oregon Corner’s Florist, Pizza Hut, Rockne’s, Robeks, Subway, Starbucks, Sweet Frog, Teresa’s Pizza, and Zeppe’s Pizzeria.
