Treatment Grant From SCHIP

Thanks to a generous grant from SCHIP Charitable Upscale Resale, we are taking $25 off the cost of an intake and first Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy session for residents of Hinesburg, Shelburne, and Charlotte.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), which involves breathing oxygen while enclosed in a pressurized hyperbaric chamber, is safe for use by everyone from infants to seniors, and has been well-researched and widely used around the world for decades to treat over one hundred chronic and acute health conditions.

Body tissues need oxygen to function, and the increased pressure inside the chamber saturates all the fluids and tissues of the body with oxygen, resulting in a wide range of therapeutic effects including:

  • Promoting tissue healing
  • Normalizing immune function
  • Repairing brain tissue and remyelinating neurons
  • Stimulating the growth of new tissue, stem cells, nerves and blood vessels
  • Fighting microbial, viral, and bacterial infections

We see a lot of chronic Lyme and Long COVID, but we also treat Traumatic Brain Injury from impacts like concussions or stroke, as well as autoimmune disorders like Lupus and Fibromyalgia, neurological conditions like MS and Parkinson’s, and inflammatory issues like arthritis.

Most people with chronic conditions require 20-40 treatments, which at market rates can be prohibitively expensive – especially for people who’ve already been financially impacted by struggling with a chronic or extreme condition. 

Hyperbaric Vermont is a non-profit which offers subsidized care specifically to address this issue. Our treatment packages are designed to keep the cost of care down to around $65-70/treatment. We fundraise to make up the difference, and offer additional financial assistance when we can.

To that end, the grant from Shelburne’s SCHIP Charitable Upscale Resale will allow residents of Charlotte, Shelburne, and Hinesburg to get $25 off the $125 fee for an intake, prescription, and first HBOT treatment (or $115 with an outside prescription).

We’re so deeply grateful for SCHIP’s generosity, and their recognition of – and support for – our ability to make a positive difference in the community.

This program is for new patients only, and will continue as long as funds last.
