We have recently partnered with VeTouch (Veterinary Treatment Outreach for Urban Community Health: A University of Minnesota Veterinary Student Club).

VeTouch is a volunteer-based, non-profit veterinary student club that hosts a monthly vaccine clinic for pets of Twin Cities residents receiving low/no income or experiencing houselessness. The veterinary students examine the pets under the supervision of veterinarians and veterinary technicians.

Please review their services If you are In need of veterinary assistance for your pets!

VeTouch Website

• PNC is now excited to offer both overdose response naloxone kits and fentanyl test strip kits to our patients as a Naloxone Access Point with the Steve Rummler Hope Network. These are free for anyone in the community and have instructions in English, Spanish, Somali, and Hmong! 

• Naloxone is a medication that can quickly save lives for those who overdose on opioids such as fentanyl, oxycodone, or heroin. Fentanyl test kits can detect fentanyl-laced drugs and tell someone if their product contains fentanyl. Learn more about both here.

• On any clinic night (see clinic hours) we will be providing these resources to all those interested!
