Bay Area, CA – November 10, 2024 – Congressman Ro Khanna visited the PetLight Therapy Center today to learn about PetLight & LightMD’s groundbreaking phototherapy technology and its potential to transform healthcare for veterans. The visit showcased the Center’s commitment to innovation, healing, and improving the quality of life for those who have served our nation.
LightMD, a veteran-owned company based in the Bay Area, specializes in non-invasive phototherapy systems that enhance the body’s natural healing processes, while PetLight is the animal-focused branch. The technology has shown promise in addressing conditions such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain, and other challenges faced by many veterans. During his visit, Congressman Khanna toured the facility, observed a demonstration of the phototherapy system, and engaged in discussions with the leadership team about the science behind the technology.
The visit was part of LightMD’s ongoing efforts to bridge the gap between advanced medical technology and the veteran community. Despite the proven benefits of phototherapy in medical applications worldwide, significant barriers remain in making it accessible to all.
“At LightMD, our mission is to improve the human condition through cutting-edge, non-invasive therapies,” said Daniel Schell, owner of LightMD. “We’re grateful for Congressman Khanna’s dedication to veterans’ welfare and his interest in helping us overcome the challenges of introducing phototherapy to VA hospitals. This technology has the power to revolutionize care for veterans dealing with chronic pain, PTSD, and more.”
The Center’s staff shared success stories and clinical outcomes with Congressman Khanna, highlighting the transformative impact of phototherapy on patients’ lives. By leveraging this technology, LightMD hopes to enhance veterans’ health outcomes and provide relief for those who have sacrificed so much for the country.
Congressman Khanna’s visit underscores the importance of partnerships between the government and private sector innovators in addressing the healthcare needs of veterans. As LightMD continues to advocate for greater accessibility to its phototherapy systems, the company remains committed to its vision of healing and advancing medical care for those who serve.
