Chapter 711 Purple Heart Patriots --
     Saturday, May 6th -- The Military Order of the Purple Heart Department of Nevada and Chapter 711 will be meeting at the South Point Hotel & Casino, 9777 Las Vegas Blvd, So.
         0800 hrs - Mission Bay meeting room open for socializing, coffee and pastries hosted by Chapter 730 (see below for directions to room)
         0900 hrs - Department of Nevada Convention meeting (Mission Bay room)
                              Convention sounds like quite an event, Lions and Rotarians with their pin-laden vests, etc. And what does "Department" mean?
                              Department of Nevada is MOPH jargon for MOPH State of Nevada.  No pin-laden vests, just MOPH attire, and a meeting of 12 to 30 Department officers, but open to anyone with a Purple Heart.
                              What happens?  Usual boring reports, then nominations and elections of 2017-18 Dept. officers followed by installation of same.
                              Complimentary tickets to the National College Rodeo Finals will be distributed to the Department and Chapter Commanders.
         1100 hrs - Las Vegas Chapter 711 monthly meeting (Mission Bay room) and installation of officers elected and appointed in April.  Rodeo tickets will be distributed to Chap 711 patriots
         1900 hrs - National College Rodeo Finals in South Point's indoor arena                             
The following directions to the MISSION BAY are courtesy of Chapter 730 Commander Dan Peterson:
       From the Coronado Cafe, enter the hallway to the Equestrian (Arena) Center Hallway:

     Walk down the hallway towards the Arena, past the horse with rider, stay to the left of the hallway.

• Turn left down the first hallway past the horse and rider, above you will see a sign saying "Bay Meeting Rooms" just before the main doors into the arena.
  • Walk down that hallway, it has pictures on each wall as you walk down the hallway, you will again see a sign above saying "Bay Rooms" to the right at the next hallway.
  • When you turn right, continue down the hallway, on the wall at the end of the hallway you will see another sign saying "Bay Rooms" just above the marque (TV).
  • Take the hallway to the left, the first room on the right down the hallway is the "Mission Bay" room.

Launch of new VA Access and Quality Tool

Veterans Service Organization Leaders,
I want to share some news coming out of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). After working with Veterans and Veterans Service Organizations, VA launched a new online tool Wednesday that provides Veterans an easy-to-use, easy-to-understand way of accessing patient wait time and quality of care data.
The Access and Quality Tool allows Veterans to access the average times patients are waiting to be seen in their local area; how Veterans describe their experiences scheduling primary and specialty care appointments at specific VA facilities; and timeliness of appointments for care needed right away.
Additionally, our facility is one of 19 nationwide where the quality of health care delivered at our VA medical center is compared with local private-sector hospitals. While we welcome this transparency and look forward to improvements to the website and data in the weeks and months ahead, I want to highlight that the hospital compare data currently listed is more than two years old (the local hospital information is pulled from Medicare and is the most current data). While the local VA data listed is favorable and comparable to that our local facilities, much has been done locally and nationally by the VA to assess and improve our performance in many areas since the period reported in this initial posting.
Regardless, this tool is the most transparent and easy to understand patient wait time and quality of care data website available. No other health care system in the country publishes this type of data on wait times. That’s unfortunate as the delivery of healthcare is local and I believe that our wait times, coupled with access to Same-Day Services in Primary Care and Mental Health for Veterans with urgent needs at the Medical Center, our primary care clinics and outpatient clinics in Laughlin and Pahrump, set the bar locally for timeliness.
In closing, this is another step in the VA’s commitment to be more transparent and solve the challenges we’re faced with. We will discuss further during our monthly Congressional Staffer meeting next week, but in the meantime, I urge you to visit the Access and Quality Tool to see how our VA medical facilities measure up.
Sincerely,
