RALLY THE TROOPS: SUNY Broome will proudly open its campus to soldiers and the community this summer for Operation Healthy Broome!

This joint mission between Broome County and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) will allow the public to access FREE medical, dental, optometry and veterinary services -- no appointment, funds or insurance required! This Innovation Readiness Training (IRT) exercise will run from Aug. 11 - 20, 2025.

It takes a community to pull off an undertaking of this size, and we thank County Executive Jason Garnar, the United Way of Broome County, and Southern Tier 8 for their partnership.

Much more to come on this exciting event. For more, visit: broomecountyny.gov/irt

During the event, U.S. Army Reserve and Active Duty personnel served 1,079 patients and performed 7,181 procedures. These no-cost services saved our community $585,141.81 with veterinary, optometry, and dentistry services seeing the highest demand.
