C
Thank
you,
chair,
garlow,
argorlo,
excuse
me
and
members
of
the
legislative
committee
on
senior
citizens,
veterans
and
adults
with
special
needs
for
the
record.
I
am
kat
miller,
director
of
the
nevada
department
of
veterans
services,
and
today
I
will
provide
specific
information,
as
requested
by
your
committee
next
slide.
C
My
first
slide
lays
out
our
department
mission
and
our
seven
major
lines
of
effort.
In
the
past
decade,
the
nevada
department
of
veterans
services
has
expanded
operations,
particularly
in
reintegrating
veterans
into
their
communities
covering
needs
such
as
employment,
education,
housing,
suicide
prevention,
health
care
and
the
needs
of
at-risk
populations.
C
I
was
asked
to
address
five
reports.
Four
are
shown
on
this
slide
and
all
of
these
reports
have
been
submitted
to
the
lcb.
The
first
three
reports
which
are
shown
in
blue
are
written
by
the
interagency
council
on
veterans
affairs,
the
nevada
veterans,
services,
commission
and
the
women
veteran
advisory
committee
with
administrative
support
provided
by
ndvs.
C
The
last
report
on
this
slide
shown
in
green
outlines,
ndvs
public
outreach
programs
and
our
collaboration
with
non-profit
organizations
to
both
identify
and
refer
veterans
to
needed
medical
and
mental
health
services.
It
also
includes
information
on
service
related
or
service
connected
disabilities
and
diseases,
and
survivor
benefits
available
to
family
members
of
veterans.
C
As
a
part
of
this
outreach,
we
participate
in
events
such
as
the
upcoming
health
healthcare
provider
summit
in
las
vegas
on
april
19th
of
this
year
we
publicize
and
distribute
brochures
and
other
informational
products.
We
post
information
on
our
website
and
use
other
social
media
platforms
to
raise
public
awareness.
C
This
slide
discusses
ndvs's
input
to
the
department
of
health
and
human
services
report
concerning
the
health
of
nevada
veterans.
The
report
provides
information
concerning
trends
in
cancers,
other
illnesses
and
deaths
related
to
service
connected
disabilities
and
diseases,
and
I
want
to
explain
the
word
service
connected
for
those
that
don't
understand
it.
So
if,
while
you
are
in
the
military,
you
have
an
injury,
an
illness
or
a
disease,
it's
considered
service
connected
and
may
make
you
eligible
for
disability
benefits
or
other
health
care
options.
C
C
C
We
began
publishing
this
report
in
2016
to
inform
veterans
and
their
families
about
earned
benefits
and
services
to
invo,
to
inform
nevada
state
leaders
about
our
operational
activities
and
our
financial
position
to
serve
as
a
resource
when
applying
for
grants.
There's
a
lot
of
grants
out
there
for
veterans
and
their
families,
but
having
this
annual
report
was
a
really
important
first
step
to
accessing
some
of
these
opportunities
and
then
finally,
to
spark
ideas
among
potential
partners.
C
C
C
Our
transitioning
service
members
often
have
limited
personal
and
social
and
professional
networks
to
support
their
transition
as
a
state.
We
can
help
boost
veterans
over
the
hurdle
of
reintegration,
and
I
promise
you
they'll.
Take
it
from
there
next
slide.
C
Ndvs
supports
the
transition
of
military
service
members
in
many
ways.
As
shown
on
this
slide,
the
department
of
defense
informs
us
of
service
members
who
indicate
they
are
moving
to
nevada.
After
leaving
service,
we
send
every
one
of
those
veterans,
a
letter,
hundreds
of
letters
a
month
telling
them
how
to
contact
us
for
support
and
sharing
other
important
research
information
such
as
employment,
information
from
dieter
and
housing,
information
from
business
and
industry.
C
Why
is
that
important?
If
you
got
out
of
vietnam
as
a
22
year
old,
you
probably
weren't
paying
a
whole
lot
of
attention
to
benefits
that
might
support
you,
and
even
if
you
were
many
of
those
benefits
happened
in
2018
or
sorry,
1980,
1990
and
2000,
so
they
weren't
even
around
when
you
got
out
so
understanding
as
a
new
benefit
comes
out
that
this
might
apply
to
is
very
important
and
that's
why
we're
so
excited
about
the
veterans
benefit
registry.
C
Finally,
our
partnership.
Partnerships
with
the
joint
military
affairs
committee
and
the
national
association
of
state
directors
of
veterans
services
helps
us
coordinate,
outreach
and
benefit
from
best
practices
in
other
states,
and
I've
stole
a
few
next
slide.
This
slide
shows
just
a
few
of
our
great
outreach
products.
Should
you
need
materials
to
support
your
constituents?
C
Please
contact
our
communications
director,
miss
terry
henry
or
any
ndvs
representative.
Those
here
in
las
vegas
have
copies
not
only
of
our
annual
report,
but
some
of
our
recent
outreach
materials
and
we
will
be
sending
that
to
those
that
are
attending
virtually
those
members
of
the
committee
that
are
attending
virtually
next
slide.
C
Next,
I
was
asked
to
discuss
the
number
of
veterans.
Ndvs
serves
annually
as
a
background.
We
estimate
there
are
almost
255
000
nevada
veterans
over
24
000
of
those
are
women.
The
va
estimates
a
lower
number
than
that,
but
acknowledge
that
their
population
model
does
not
fully
account
for
the
migratory
pattern
of
veterans
moving
south
and
west
over
the
past
decade.
C
C
Next
slide,
8
364
people
received
training
to
help
connect
veterans,
family
members
and
survivors
to
benefits.
Examples
include
a
presumptive
conditions,
workshop
and
suicide
prevention,
faith-based
summits.
Finally,
with
partners,
we
honored
6772
veterans.
Examples
include
unaccompanied
internment
ceremonies
for
those
veterans
who
have
passed
away
and
don't
have
family
and
friends
nearby
to
support
them
veterans
day.
Events
and
veterans
of
the
month
and
veteran
supporters
of
the
month,
ceremonies
that
are
managed
by
the
nevada
veterans
service.
C
C
There
were
other
bills,
we
tracked
that
were
not
veteran-specific,
but
that
were
of
great
interest
to
veterans
organizations
such
as
the
charitable
lottery
bills
and
the
988
suicide
prevention
hotline
bill
they're
not
going
to
be
covered
on
these
slides.
Today,
I
will
be
happy
to
provide
any
additional
information.
Should
there
be
conclusion
any
questions
at
the
conclusion
of
my
presentations.
C
C
C
In
march
of
this
year,
ndvs,
in
partnership
with
the
united
veterans
legislative
council
conducted
veterans,
legislative
symposia,
both
in
las
vegas
and
reno
164
participants
representing
16
statewide
veterans,
service
organizations,
identified
and
prioritized
47,
unique
state
issues
and
14
unique
federal
issues.
By
what
I
mean
by
unique
is
it
might
have
been
identified
both
in
las
vegas
and
nevada.
But
I
didn't
count
that
as
two
if
it
was
the
same
issue
as
a
unique
issue,
so
a
total
of
47
unique
issues.
C
C
Next
slide,
please
and
a
final
shift
to
address
the
last
topic.
I
was
asked
to
cover
homelessness
among
nevada
veterans,
nevada's,
three
continuum
of
cares
or
cocs,
organize
efforts
of
local
governments,
non-profits
and
stakeholder
groups
to
end
homelessness
in
their
region.
They
conduct
statewide
coordination
among
themselves,
but
there
is
no
strong,
centralized
oversight,
centralized
coordination,
but
not
centralized
oversight
which
can
make
gathering
veterans
data
a
bit
challenging.
However,
all
the
coc
leads
were
very
helpful
as
we
work
together
this
information.
So
let
me
get
right
to
the
bottom
line.
C
Unfortunately,
volunteers
conducted
an
observation
count
only
within
14
of
the
rural
cocs
15
counties
and
the
count
was
not
conducted
in
one
county
due
to
the
illness
experienced
by
account
lead.
So
the
rural
veterans
count
is
likely
understated,
I
don't
think
they're
huge
numbers,
but
in
the
2021
I
don't
have
good
data
on
the
number
of
homeless
veterans
in
the
rural
coc.
C
Do
we
do
provide
important
services,
such
as
convening
partners
to
share
information
and
best
practices,
conducting
studies
to
determine
service
gaps,
connecting
veterans
with
supportive
services
and
with
information
about
affordable
rental
and
home
ownership,
and
we
also
publish
all
this
information
on
our
website
with
us.
Today
we
have
several
subject
matter:
experts
who
can
answer
any
follow-on
questions
that
you
might
have
regarding
veteran
homelessness.
C
We
have
michelle
fuller,
hollyer
and-
and
I
apologize
if
I'm
mispronouncing,
that
michelle
clark,
county
social
services
manager,
katrina,
peters,
the
washoe
county
data
and
policy,
specialist
and
shalimar
cabrera
executive
director
at
u.s,
vets,
a
las
vegas
non-profit
organization,
providing
transitional
and
permanent
housing,
job
training
and
placement
services,
and
also
case
management,
support
and
u.s.
Vets
is
larger
than
just
las.
C
Our
conclusion
in
conclusion,
ndvs
is
not
huge,
but
I
believe
we
punch
well
above
our
weight.
We've
received
five
national
awards
for
best
practices
in
seven
years
and
every
single
day
our
team
members
make
a
difference
in
the
lives
of
veterans,
service
members
and
their
families,
so
we're
working
on
three
things,
one
to
make
sure
no
matter
where
a
veteran
lives
that
veteran
and
that
family
member
have
information
and
access
to
resources
that
improve
their
lives.
C
The
va
recently
did
a
study,
the
numbers
sound
very
high,
but
it
was
that
90
percent
of
available
benefits
and
services
that
veterans
have
earned
stay
on
the
table,
they're
not
accessed,
so
our
problem
often
isn't
new
benefits
and
resources.
It's
finding
the
veterans
and
developing
procedures
and
processes
to
connect
veterans
to
existing
resources.
C
A
D
D
But
I
really
want
to
thank
you
for
your
service.
I
think
you
have
been
a
marvelous
addition
to
the
efforts
that
the
state
of
nevada
has
for
veterans,
and
I
thank
you
for
that.
Yes,
my
first
question
has
to
do
and
it
may
have
to
be
answered
by
one
of
the
subject
matter:
experts,
my
heart
breaks.
Every
time
I
hear
homeless
veterans
in
the
same
sentence,
because
that
should
never
be.
D
I
know
that
there
are
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
talk
about
things
like
rent
control
and
that
sort
of
thing,
and
how
do
we
do
this
for
people
who
might
be
are
we
do?
Is
there
a
sub
category
that
specifically
looks
at
maybe
some
federal
programs
or
federal
monies
that
will
help
us
get
them
off
the
street
earlier
and
number
two,
the
wrap
around
services
that
are
needed,
because
there
are
some
who
are
homeless
because
of
pts
others
may
be
homeless
because
of
various
and
sundry
things
discharge.
D
Maybe
they
got
less
than
honorable
discharge,
and
I
know
that
I
know
that
many
times
that
knocks
you
out
of
the
category,
but
I'm
still
concerned
that
at
least
at
least
since
1976,
when
did
when
the
voluntary
army
start,
was
1976
volar,
74
74.
So
anybody
who
anybody
who
who
entered
the
service
after
1974
volunteered
to
do
so,
and
so
my
question
is
there
has
to
be
a
way
for
us
to
collaborate.
D
You
mentioned
community
partners,
but
there
has
to
be
a
way
for
us
to
collaborate
with
all
these
other
resources
to
help
make
that
happen,
and
I'm
just
a
question:
how
do
we
do
that?
Because
this
we
we
talk
about
this
all
the
time,
not
just
for
veteran
services,
but
but
we
talk
about
this
all
the
time
and-
and
it's
just
exacerbating
to
me.
C
C
Rba
medical
centers
is
where
they're
housed.
There
are
veteran
specialists
that
do
nothing
except
help,
connect
veterans
to
housing
resources
and
provide
wrap-around
services.
However,
many
of
those
wrap
around
services
are
offered
to
what
they
call
hud-vash
vouchers
and
actually
implemented
by
non-profit
organizations
such
as
u.s
vets.
C
D
Just
before
you
start
just
one
question,
if
you
can
just
put
faith-based
communities
and
they're
at
the
bottom
line,
just
and
I'll
talk
about
that
later,
but
thank
you.
Thank
you.
E
Thank
you,
I'm
just
ready
to
get
going
there
good
morning.
Try
that
again.
Good
morning
to
all
of
the
committee
members,
I
am
shalimar
cabrera,
I'm
the
executive
director
of
u.s
vets
here
in
las
vegas,
as
kat
said,
I'm
happy
to
be
here
and
in
person
to
talk
to
you
about
our
services.
Thank
you
for
your
question
and,
of
course,
your
concern
for
our
veterans.
We
also
believe
that
nobody
who
has
served
there
in
our
military
should
find
themselves
sleeping
on
the
very
streets
that
they
fought
to
defend.
E
E
Now
there
are
two
of
us
who
received
va
supportive
service
for
veteran
families,
funding,
which
is
a
federal
program
that
allows
us
to
provide
eviction,
prevention,
funding
so
meeting
the
veterans
and
their
family,
whether
that's
one
veteran
in
a
household
all
the
way
up
to,
I
think
our
largest
family
is
a
family
of
13.
In
the
veterans
household,
however,
they
define
their
family
we're
able
to
serve
them
as
long
as
there
is
a
veteran
in
the
household
and
if
they
are
facing
eviction
and
therefore
imminent
homelessness.
E
We're
able
to
step
in
with
event
eviction
prevention
funding,
so
that
program
in
itself
deals
with
eviction
prevention
as
well
as
rapid
rehousing,
but
our
programs-
and
I
could
go
on
for
a
long
time
but
I'll
stick
specifically
to
what
you
ask
our
programs
at
us.
Vets,
for
example,
is
comprehensive
in
that
we
start
with
outreach
on
the
streets
and
in
the
shelters
to
find
them
and
connect
them.
E
As
cat
said,
it's
important
for
us
to
be
able
to
tell
veterans
what
their
benefits
are,
what
resources
are
available
and
from
outreach
into
either
transitional
supportive,
permanent
or
affordable
housing
eviction,
prevention,
financial
assistance,
case
management,
employment,
all
the
way
through
actually
to
permanent
housing
and
after
care,
we
actually
follow.
The
veteran
after
we've
helped
place
them
from
transitional
housing
into
permanent
housing,
follow
them
to
ensure
that
they
stay
in
housing,
hoping
that
they
never
recur
to
homelessness
again,
so
there
are
actually
federal
resources.
E
Actually,
85
percent
of
our
budget,
us
vets,
is
still
federal
resources
and
we're
grateful
to
the
va
and
hud
and
the
department
of
labor
for
supporting
those
services
for
our
veterans,
also
rental
assistance.
So
if
a
veteran
is
in
arrears
on
utilities
or
on
rent
we're
able
to
step
in
so
that
they
don't
actually
get
displaced
from
where
they
are,
but
actually
able
to
help
them
in
the
household
where
they're
living
or
if
they
are
already
homeless.
Of
course,
we
have
several
rapid
rehousing
programs
and
then
to
your
question
about
discharge.
E
Actually,
while
their
medical
benefits
will
be
different,
as
we
know
based
on
how
long
they
served
or
what
their
discharge
is,
our
housing
programs
are
not
specific,
do
not
necessarily
preclude
them
so
including
bad
conduct,
we're
able
actually
to
serve
veterans
and
connect
them
to
services
other
than
honorable
medical
under
honorable
different
discharges.
So
it's
not
just
honorable
that
we're
able
to
serve,
which
is
a
good
thing.
That
was
a
change,
that
the
va
made
sure
that
we
could.
E
We
could
continue
doing
that
because
we
know
veterans
all
have
different
different
needs
and
different
reasons
for
their
discharge
and
then
in
terms
of
collaboration.
Yes,
for
sure
I
mean,
I
think,
there's
certainly
nothing.
We
could
do
at
us
vets
without
the
support
of
the
community.
E
Still,
our
veterans
will
come
to
our
community
and
have
no
idea
how
to
access
the
system
or
that
their
benefits
are
available
to
them.
So
that's
the
role
of
our
case
managers
to
connect
them
to
all
of
those
services
and
letting
the
community
know
that
that
we
and
other
agencies
are
here,
certainly
is
going
to
be
important
to
to
decreasing
this
number
I'll.
E
Just
leave
you
with
one
statistic
and
then
I'll
wrap
up
that
in
the
last
six
years,
we've
actually,
the
community
providers
here
in
las
vegas
have
actually
decreased
veteran
homelessness
by
approximately
fifty
percent
in
the
last
six
years.
So
the.
B
E
Is
going
down
and
we
you
know.
E
A
E
There
are
yes,
there
are
widow
and
dependent
benefits
in
general,
but
in
terms
of
housing,
if
we've
already
placed
a
veteran
household
in
one
of
our
programs
and
the
veteran
happens
to
pass
away,
there's
actually
a
grace
period,
we're
actually
able
to
serve
the
widow
and
the
family
for
up
to
12
months,
while
we
help
them
transition
to
other
non-veteran
specific
housing.
So
that's
a
nice
great
that
has
happened
to
us
very
recently.
Actually.
E
D
I
promise
I
won't
dominate
so
one
of
the
one
of
the
things
that
continues
to
haunt
me
is
the
lack
of
housing
availability
for
women
veterans
and
I've
talked
to
a
number
of
them
and
most
of
the
housing
opportunities,
especially
communal,
are
for
men
and
they
don't
want
to
go
there
and
those
that
have
children
don't
want
to
go
there.
D
You
know
across
the
people,
as
well
as
community
organizations,
the
sorority
that
I'm
a
member
of
we
do
a
number
of
things
to
try
to
make
sure
that
veterans
have
that
information.
So
so
I
guess
I'm
looking
at
some
non-traditional
ways,
but
the
main
question
I'm
asking
is:
what
are
we
doing
if
anything
about
housing,
specifically
specifically
for
women
veterans.
E
E
Cabrera
executive
director
of
u.s
vets,
the
question
about
female
veteran
housing
and
our
first
program
at
u.s,
vets
which
is
still
located
on
las
vegas
boulevard
and
bonanza
here
around
the
corner
was
transitional.
Housing
first
started
within
118
bed
program
for
veterans,
male
and
female.
E
However,
even
to
this
day
that
the
number
of
females
in
that
program
is
so
low,
we
have
one
female
room
for
veterans
now
the
program
is
152
beds
about.
Four
of
them
are
for
female
veterans,
not
that
we
couldn't.
If
there
was
enough
female
veterans
to
fill
all
our
beds,
we
would
convert
them
to
female
vets,
but
certainly
that
need
we.
We
determined
it
was
not,
as
you
said,
because
the
need
was
lower.
It
was
because
they
were
not
comfortable
coming
into
a
predominantly
male
congregate
living
facility.
E
So
we
tried
to
tackle
that
a
couple
different
ways.
Once
we
added,
though
the
solution
to
it
was
when
we
added
permanent
individual
housing
in
our
facility,
but
also
even
more
so
scattered
in
the
community,
where
they
could
choose
their
own
housing
and
we
could
support
them
in
their
housing
out
in
the
community.
E
That's
when
we
started
to
see
more
female
veterans
coming
forward
for
services
once
we
opened
our
families
program
in
2011,
more
female
veterans
with
children,
single
female
veterans,
single
moms
with
children,
were
able
to
come
forward
for
services
because
they
simply
can
pick
their
apartment
wherever
their
school
is
or
close
to
their
employment,
and
we
see
many
more
females
in
that
housing
than
we
do
in
still
in
the
shared
in
the
shared
housing.
But
in
our
shared
housing
and
our
congregate
housing.
E
I
should
say
we
still
take
parameters
to
make
sure,
for
instance,
that
the
female
room
is
closest
to
the
staff
office
for
safety.
It's
got
a
walkie-talkie
in
there
direct
access
to
the
to
the
males.
You
know
to
the
excuse
me
to
the
staff,
so
we
do
make
sure
that
there
are
certain
precautions
there,
but
that
for
sure
is
a
need,
and
it
is
important
for
people
to
remember
that
females,
too,
are
veterans.
We
have
one
retired
colonel
here
next
to
us,
but
even
for
example,
at
us
vets.
E
Our
donations
that
we
bring
in
every
day
from
the
community,
which
are
so
grateful
for,
are
always
predominantly
male.
Clothing,
male
hygiene
items
right
we're
saying
we
serve
female
veterans
too,
so
certainly
that
outreach
to
the
community
for
those
needs
will
be
continually
important
and
thank
you
for
the
reminder
about
faith-based
organizations
for
sure
they
provide
such
a
great
level
of
support
to
the
community
and
to
our
service
members.
We
know
we
love
our
faith-based
organizations
who
come
and
volunteer
and
serve
our
veterans
and
continuously
ask
us
what
what
the
needs
of
the
veterans
are.
C
Madam
chair,
if
I
might,
there
was
another
part
to
the
question
and
that
involved
organizing
synchronization
and
coordination
and,
of
course,
our
cocs
organized
efforts
of
local
governments,
non-profits
and
stakeholder
groups.
So
if
I
could
turn
it
over
to
michelle
fuller
howler
see
if
she
has
anything
to
answer
that
part
of
the
question
michelle.
Are
you
online.
C
And
miss
peters
is
from
the
washoe
county
data
and
policy
analyst,
so
really
they're
great
structures.
In
my
opinion,
the
cocs
have
done
a
lot
to
bring
the
community
together,
federal
state,
nonprofits
city,
faith-based,
etc.
Where
I
find
challenges
sometimes
is
at
the
state
level.
C
You
know,
there's
a
wonderful
interagency
council
on
homelessness,
which
my
deputy
is
a
member
of
that
and
they
do
great
in
terms
of
making
policy
recommendations,
but
in
terms
of
a
funnel
each
one
of
those
cocs
report
directly
to
their
own
points
of
contact
at
the
federal
level
and
a
report
is
done
annually.
But
I
know
it
would
be
easier
for
me
for
what
that's
worth
if
there
was
more
of
a
centralized
oversight,
but
that's
not
how
the
system
is
built
so.
A
Okay,
seeing
none
thank
you
so
much
director
miller,
senator
spearman
beat
me
to
it
to
congratulate
you
on
your
retirement
and
thank
you
so
much
for
all
your
service.
So
we
really
appreciate
you.
C
Kat
miller,
for
the
record
and
I'd
like
to
thank
this
committee
for
their
service
to
veterans.
If
there's
one
place,
I
go
to
in
the
legislature
to
ensure
that
the
needs
of
our
veterans
and
their
families
are
taken
care
of
it's
this
committee,
you
do
such
important
work
and
thank
each
one
of
you
for
what
you
do
every
day
for
our
veterans
and
their
families.
A
A
We
have
dimitrio
gonzalez
executive
director
of
the
adopt
a
vet
veteran
veteran
dental
program,
and
I'd
also
like
to
highlight
that
this
committee
has
sponsored
bills
from
the
last
three
legislative
sessions
to
fund
the
adopt-a-vet
dental
program.
We'll
take
questions
at
the
end
of
the
presentation.
You
may
begin
when
ready.
G
Good
morning,
committee
members,
my
name
for
the
record,
my
name
is
dimitro
gonzalez,
I'm
the
executive
director
for
the
adoptive
ed
dental
program
for
the
state
of
nevada.
So
I
do
have
a
report
here
and
it
was
given
prior.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
want
us
to
present
it
on
there.
If
you
would
like,
we
could,
if
not
that's.
Okay,.
A
G
So
we
were
asked,
so
I
was
asked
to
give
an
overview
of
the
abducted
denim
program
and
what
we
have
here
is
an
overview.
So
what
we've
done
is
we've
presented
the
last
12
years
of
what
we've
done
in
what
we're
doing
now
for
the
veterans
in
the
state
of
nevada.
G
So
on
page
two,
which
is
the
second
page,
we
are
not
only
asking
in
in
this
nestle
in
this
next
legislative
session
for
continued
funding,
but
also
to
raise
the
funding
that
has
been
appropriated
for
the
aavd
program
for
the
last
three
legislative
sessions
since
receiving
funding.
We
have
been
asked
by
leaders
within
this
legislative
body
to
expand
our
program
to
cover
the
entire
state
of
nevada.
G
As
of
july
1st
2021,
the
aavd
program
has
expanded
to
cover
the
entire
state
of
nevada.
What
do
we
do
at
aavd
through
a
partnership
with
137
dentists
throughout
the
state
of
nevada
and
the
use
of
a
dental
clinic
at
the
truckee
meadows
community
college,
in
reno
nevada?
We
give
full
mouth
dental
restorations
to
low-income
veterans
who
are
unable
to
cover
costs
for
their
dental
care.
G
These
services
include,
but
are
not
limited
to
extractions,
crowns,
bridges,
fillings,
replaceable,
partial
dentures
and
full
mouth
dentures.
Most
of
the
patients
that
come
through
our
program
have
been
through
enormous
amounts
of
obstacles
trying
to
get
dental
treatment
to
relieve
pain
that
is
excruciating
and
many
times
life-threatening.
G
G
G
G
The
third
is,
they
would
have
had
to
been
injured
in
the
mouth.
In
several
studies,
professionals
within
the
dod
facial
injuries
are
not
specified
to
the
mouth.
The
dod
studies
designate
these
injuries
as
maxillofacial
cranial
injuries
from
vietnam.
To
present,
there
are
more
than
five
thousand
macro
facial
craze,
cranial
injured
service
members
of
those
numbers.
There
is
no
exact
number
of
which
of
those
are
actual
injuries
to
the
mouth.
G
To
date,
there
are
about
18.2
million
veterans
of
the
united
states,
given
the
number
I
have
just
presented,
if
we
had
all
of
these
numbers
up
there
about
1.3
million
8
000
veterans,
who
are
possibly
eligible
for
dental
care
through
the
va
system,
that's
within
the
18.2
million
across
the
united
states.
G
According
to
the
nevada
department
of
veterans
services,
there
are
approximately
250
000
veterans
who
reside
in
the
state
of
nevada
through
our
geographical
research,
there's
about
44
000
of
those
that
are
at
poverty
or
below
poverty
that
live
in
the
state
of
nevada.
G
In
2017
this
year,
again,
avd
was
voted
as
a
number
one
veterans
program
in
need
for
veterans
to
date,
and
it
and
its
volunteer
dentists
have
provided
full
mouth
restorations
to
1
490,
low-income
veterans
included
in
that
number
are
229
veterans
living
in
rural
areas
and
71
women
veterans,
two
of
our
most
under-served
populations
in
the
state
of
nevada.
G
The
number
of
veterans
that
were
treated
by
our
volunteer
dentist
amounts
to
about
7.7
million
dollars
of
donated
services
with
our
partners,
or
there
are
other
programs
throughout
the
united
states
to
give
some
type
of
minimal
dental
care
to
low-income
veterans
in
their
state
nevada.
We
are
the
only
program
in
the
united
states
that
gives
total
full
month
restorations
to
our
veterans.
G
What
we
have
what
we
have
right
here
on
the
critical
need
for
dental
care.
Most
of
our
patients
that
come
in
through
our
doors
are
in
critical
condition.
Most
of
them
have
teeth
that
have
been
broken
off
at
the
gum
line.
They
have
rotting
teeth,
they
have
extreme
mental
fear
of
going
out
in
the
community
and
smiling
or
even
having
some
type
of
conversation
or
even
applying
for
work.
G
The
the
key
program
successes
that
we
have
had
is
on
december
7
2021,
the
city
of
henderson,
awarded
the
adopted
dental
program
with
the
outstanding
nonprofit
award
for
2021,
and
that's
just
for
the
profound
impact
they
have
already
seen.
What
we've
done
here
in
this
in
the
south,
in
in
nevada,
we
have
137
voluntary
dentists
throughout
the
state
of
nevada,
and
that's
just
amazing
for
us
to
be
able
to
have
that.
G
We
are
in
communication
with
other
programs
throughout
the
united
states
and
every
time
that
we
have
conversations
there
at
all
on
how
we're
able
to
do
the
type
of
care
that
we
do
for
our
veterans.
They
have
asked
us
how
we
go
about
giving
full
mouth
restorations
where
in
other
states
they
give
minimal,
maybe
a
set
of
dentures,
maybe
some
extractions,
but
not
to
the
value
that
we
give
our
veterans
here
in
the
state
of
nevada,
truckee
metals.
We
do
have
a
dental
clinic
that
we
use
at
trucking
metals.
G
We've
also
been
asked
why
we
do
not
use
unlv
as
a
source
for
treating
patients.
There
is
an
opportunity
for
patients
to
be
seen
at
unlv
dental
at
the
dental
school,
but
here
lies
the
problem
when
we
do
dental
work
through
some
retired
dentists
that
work
for
us
at
truckee
meadows,
community
college
in
reno.
G
It
takes
anywhere
from
two
to
four
days
on
an
emergency
case
for
them
to
be
able
to
see
be
seen
at
our
clinic
and
when
they
come
in
through
normal
dental
care.
They
come
in
and
maybe
three
to
four
months
after
coming,
through
our
program,
they're
completed
everything
from
extractions
to
crowns
to
root
canals
to
bridges
to
re
replaceable
parcel
dentures,
full
dentures.
It
takes
about
three
three
to
four
months
to
complete
it.
G
And
that
takes
time
and
what
use
unlv
has
a
waiting
list
of
three
years
to
get
just
to
get
seen
at
their
program,
where
we
have
a
couple
of
days
to
get
seen
through
our
program
and
how
we
do
business
and
and
we
we,
we
love
unlv
and
their
dental
program.
But
it
just
is
not
somewhere.
We
want
to
keep
our
our
patients
going
through
when
it
takes
so
long
for
them
to
do
it.
G
So
our
what
we
did
on
page
four
is
this
is
from
the
last
ladies
legislative
session.
So
we
asked
for
continued
state
funding
of
two
hundred
fifty
thousand
per
year,
five
hundred
thousand
by
nelium,
so
we
did
ask
for
that.
The
state
unanimously
through
the
legislature
voted
for
yes
for
us
to
get
continued
funding.
We
are
grateful
for
that.
What
we
wanted
to
do
was
present
that
to
you
in
the
form
of
how
we
wrote
it
and
what
we
asked
for
and
what
we
were
going
to
do
with
the
money.
G
We
are
presently
doing
everything
that's
written
here
on
pages
four
and
five
on
what
we
told
and
informed
the
legislature.
We
would
do
with
the
money
that
we
were
given
the
impact
on
low-income
veterans
on
page
five
receiving
dental
care.
Emergency
care
is
critical
to
eliminate
street
extreme
and
suffering
extreme
pain
and
suffering
from
abscesses.
G
There
are
patients
out
there
that
have
been
told
know
for
so
long
that
they've
given
up
trying
to
get
any
type
of
dental
care
through
our
program
and
through
our
outreach
program,
we
have
tried
I've
traveled
all
over
the
state
of
nevada.
In
my
vehicle
gone
to
all
these
rural
areas
and
just
explained
to
them
that
there
is
a
way
for
you
to
get
dental
care.
G
What
we've
also
presented
to
the
committee
is
our
projected
budget
that
we
proposed
in
this
last
legislative
session,
and
you
can
see
everything
that's
there.
We
want
it
to
be
in.
Not
only
do
we
have
everywhere
in
our
program
we're
very
transparent
if
you
want
to
know
where
the
money
is
going
to
on
what
we
receive.
Everything
is
in
our
website.
G
There's
no
secrets:
there's
no
blinders
everything
that
we
do
with
the
money
is
there
for
you
to
see
whether
you're
a
just
whether
you're
within
the
committee
or
the
legislature
or
you're,
just
someone
at
home
that
wants
to
look
at
how
our
money
is
spent.
It's
all
in
our
web
page
also.
G
We
have
an
x-ray
and-
and
I
wanted
to
share
this
with
the
community,
because
I
want
people
to
understand
in
the
legislature
for
those
that
don't
know
about
our
program
in
this
committee.
What
you
see
here
is
an
x-ray.
We
call
it
a
panograph
and,
as
you
can
see
the
gentleman
that
you
see
there
was
one
of
our
patient
one
of
our
patients
that
we
treated
this
last
year.
G
This
patient
came
to
us
and
when
he
first
came
into
our
program,
we
were
in
mask
it
was
kovit
and
one
of
the
things
he
says
was.
I
was
so
grateful
for
covid,
because
this
mask
allows
me
to
walk
around
and
no
one
knows
what
I
look
like.
G
He
was
one
of
the
top
salesmen
in
his
in
his
area
for
many
years
until
he
went
through
battling
ptsd
and
other
things
that
were
that
were
derivative
from
his
time
in
service,
and
so
what
what
ended
up
happening?
Is
he
neglected
his
teeth?
What
you
see
here,
if
you
look
at
the
x-ray,
the
right
side
of
the
x-ray,
is
look
if
you're
looking
at
it.
The
right
side
is
the
left
side
and
the
left
side
to
right
side.
G
If
you
can
see
on
the
right
lower
hand,
side,
those
are
all
teeth
that
are
broken
at
the
actual
gum
level
and
what
you
see
at
the
bottom
are
his
roots
that
are
still
there
and
you
see
different
on
the
upper
left
hand
corner.
You
see
an
empty
area
of
there's
root
still
in
his
mouth,
and
those
are
areas
that
you
know
are
infected
and
could
have
possibly
killed
him.
There
are
what
he
used
to
do
in
order
to
get
rid
of
the
pain
before
he
found
our
program.
G
He
was
his
emotional
status
when
he
got
to
us
was
just
overwhelming
to
us,
and
but
what
you
can
see
is
the
before
and
after
picture.
So
on
the
left
hand
side,
you
see
what
he
looked
like
before
and
for
our
patients
to
to
smile
looking
like
this
is
hard
for
them.
But
if
you
see
on
the
right
hand,
side
is
the
end
result
of
the
volunteer
dentist
that
we
have
and
the
and
how
we
treat
our
patients.
G
And
what
I
who
I
have
here
with
me
today
is
heather
burkowski,
who
is
the
assistant
executive
director,
but
she's
also
our
cfo,
and
she
deals
with
the
finances
and
keeping
us
in
track
on
making
sure
that
every
penny
that
we
get
is
maximized
and
for
every
one
dollar
that
we
receive
from
either
the
community
or
the
legislature.
It
turns
into
three
dollars
of
donated
services
from
a
from
either
a
dentist
or
any
other
organization.
G
I
also
have
with
me
charlotte
wordly
who's,
our
program
director
for
our
community
dentist
and
her
job
is
to
go
out
there
and
make
relationships
with
dentists
to
be
part
of
our
program.
We
also
have
cherie
peterson,
who
we
hired
here
last
year
when
we
opened
up
our
office.
That
is
our
manager
for
office
here
in
in
in
southern
nevada,
but
we
are
open
for
any
type
of
questions
moving
forward
in
this
in
this
committee,
so
I'll
leave
it
for
any
questions.
A
D
Here's
a
question
that
I'd
like
to
really
put
on
the
record,
and
that
is,
we
probably
need
some
type
of
a
resolution
in
the
next
session
that
asks
our
federal
delegation
to
put
forth
a
bill
that
will
address
the
lack
of
services
for
dental
services,
for
veterans
seems
to
me
that
that
would
be
one
way
that
would
help
expand
the
dollars
if
you
will,
but
the
other
way
is-
and
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
this-
but
if
there
is
a
way
for
for
some
type
of
tax
abatement
or
something
that
would
incentivize
more
dentists
to
be
a
part
of
this,
there
is
a
very
popular
dental
program
that
advertises
on
tv,
and
I
went
there
just
to
see
what
what
it
was
like
and
it's
a
really
nice
office,
really
nice
seating,
and
they
talk
to
you
in
this
really
nice.
D
D
So
you
can
sell
your
house,
get
some
teeth
or
do
without
so.
My
question
would
be:
have
you
thought
about
getting
them
involved
as
well,
because
at
twenty
thousand
dollars
a
pop
and
if
they've
had
more
than
two
million
people
come
through
there
and
the
program
has
been
around
for
at
least
ten
years,
and
I
know
you
know,
you've
got
early
adopters
and
the
early
adopters
it
costs
more
and
then,
as
you
move
down
the
line
to
where
the
program
becomes
normalized,
if
you
will,
the
cost
usually
comes
down.
D
So
perhaps
looking
at
some
of
those
some
of
those
places
that
have
the
money
to
advertise
on
television
at
the
national
level,
and
I
would
be
more
than
willing
to
do
whatever
I
can
to
help
make
that
happen.
But
I
would
think,
if
they're
not
involved
with
this
program,
they
should
be
yeah.
They
should
be
so
the
other.
The
other
thing
that
I'm
going
to
ask-
and
I
don't
I
don't
even
know
what
you
can
do
about
this,
but
early
on
this
is
not
a
political
statement.
D
So
please
don't
take
it
like
that.
Anyone
early
on
when
they
were
talking
about
the
arpa
money,
the
initial
budget
included
in
that
budget,
was
money
for
dental
care
and
hearing
aids
and
eyeglasses
for
seniors.
And
that's
where
this
kind
of
overlaps
I'd
be
curious.
To
know
how
many,
not
just
veterans,
but
if
you
have
any
kind
of
a
handle
on
what
does
that
look
like
for
older
people,
because
the
there
is
a
there
is
a
small
one.
D
But
there
is
a
corollary
to
heart
disease
and
gum
disease
and
for
people
who
are
older
and
living
on
a
fixed
income.
And
I
think
this
is
where
our
committee
work
comes
in.
Madam
chair,
I'm
not
taking
over
okay,
but
just
I
just
think
this
is
where,
where
our
work
as
a
committee
kind
of
overlaps
and
maybe
there's
something
that
can
be
done
between
adoptive
vet,
dental
and
aarp
and
any
other
organization
that
works
with
seasoned
citizens.
D
Seniors
because
when
you
have
that
type
of
a
coalition-
and
this
is
not
political
either
but
most
of
those
folks
vote-
and
that
could
be
the
incentive
that
you
need
to
get
some
of
the
things
done-
veterans,
aarp
and
other
organizations
that
work
with
older
adults,
even
especially
adults
with
special
needs,
because
many
times
that
is
the
population
that
gets
the
last
of
the
least.
D
If
that
makes
sense
to
you.
So
so
perhaps
there's
some
opportunity
there,
but,
but
I
think
I
think,
the
the
business
that
charges
more
than
charges-
20
20
000-
to
do
what
this
gentleman
had
done.
They
ought
to
be
a
part
of
this.
G
G
We
are
talking
to
the
federal
government
about
our
program
and
expanding
it
nationwide,
and
that
was
when
I
took
over
this
program.
That
was
my
main.
My
main
objective
is
to
make
this
program
national.
What
we've
done
since
I've
arrived
on
board
and
with
the
help
of
the
staff
is
this?
May
I'm
traveling
to
chicago,
and
the
american
dental
association
has
asked
all
of
the
non-profits
throughout
the
united
states
to
deal
with
this
type
of
issue
treating
veterans
again.
G
But
I
tell
you
we're
the
only
state
in
the
country
that
does
it
the
way
we
do
and
they
have
a
lot
of
questions
for
us
I'll,
be
traveling
in
may
to
go
talk
to
them
about
adding
all
of
the
american
dental
association
programs
within
the
united
states
to
participate
within
our
program.
So
that
means
just
here
in
southern
nevada.
There
are
five
six
thousand
practices
here.
G
It's
just
enormous
how
many
dental
practices
are
here,
but
also
throughout
the
united
states,
and
so
what
we're
looking
at
is
being
able
to
encourage
the
ada
to
tell
their
dentist
that
are
part
of
their
organization.
Is,
please,
consider
donating
services
to
these
veterans,
not
only
in
the
state
of
nevada,
but
throughout
the
united
states.
Every
dentist
has
a
heart
for
something:
we're
asking
them
to
have
a
heart
for
our
veterans.
G
What
we
are
also
doing
is
we're
talking
to
other
organizations
to
see
if
there's
a
way
that
we
can
that
we
can
work
with
them.
They
do
what
they
do
and
then
we
just
expand
it
to
what
we
do,
and
it
makes
sense
to
do
that
and
we're
in
the
progress
of
doing
that
this
year,
so
in
may
I'll
be
in
chicago.
G
I
think
this
friday
we
have
a
meeting
with
another
program
that
that
deals
with
veterans
as
well.
It's
called
vet
smile,
but
you
know
the
the
the
clear
thing
is
is
money:
where
is
the
money
going
to
come
from?
Because,
if
we're
asking
one
of
the
reasons
why
dennis
our
program
is
so
successful,
is
through
fundraising
and
getting
grants
and
writing
grants?
Is
a
dentist
comes
into
our
office
and
we
go
to
them
or
we
go
to
them
and
say:
would
you
like
to
be
part
of
our
program?
G
Their
next
question
is
okay.
What
what
is
my
cost?
We
tell
them.
Your
cost
is
just
the
donated
services.
We
will
do
everything
else.
We
will
contact
the
va,
we'll
make
sure
that
all
their
medical
issues
are
taken
care
of
prior
to
coming
to
your
office.
Any
type
of
issues
with
this
individual
with
this
veteran
will
be
taken.
Care
of
all
they
have
to
do
is
show
up
to
your
office,
sit
on
the
seat,
you
do
the
dental
work
and
they
come
back
to
us.
G
We
pay
for
all
the
dental
devices,
the
dental
prosthetics,
so
we're
responsible
for
doing
for
paying
for
crowns
bridges,
dentures,
replaceable,
partial
dentures,
anything
associated
with
prosthetics.
We
pay
for
dentists,
love
that
with
our
program.
They
also
know
that
they
can.
They
can
continue
to
use
the
laboratory,
the
dental
laboratories
that
they've
been
using,
so
they
don't
have
to
use
some.
You
know
other
laboratory,
it's
just
like
a
patient
comes
in
and
leaves
we're
trying
to
to
inform
the
other
programs
throughout
the
united
states.
D
I
guess
the
follow-up
to
that
would
be
encouraging
to
look
at
aarp,
and
probably
I
know
that
there
is
an
organization
that
works
with
differently.
Abled
citizens,
a
three
four
threefold
cord,
usually
can't
be
broken,
and
I
think
collaboration
with
those
three
and
especially
when
you're
talking
about
veterans.
C
A
Okay,
seeing
none
I'm
actually
going
to
piggyback
on
what
senator
spearman
said
that,
yes,
whenever
we
seem
to
be
talking
about
healthcare,
dental
vision
and
hearing
always
gets
ignored.
In
my
humble
opinion,
they
don't
get
the
funding
or
the
resources
that
the
other
healthcare
areas
seem
to
get,
and
I
really
appreciate
everything
that
you
guys
are
doing,
I
think,
is
amazing,
because,
besides
the
infections,
it's
a
nutrition
issue
as
well,
making
sure
that
they
can
eat
properly.
It's
a
little
hard
to
eat
an
apple
when
you
don't
have
teeth
to
bite
into
it.
A
But
then
my
question
also
is:
are
there
anti-preventive
measures
that
you
take
as
well
like
cleanings
once
a
year
or
twice
a
year
is
recommended?
Do
you
provide
those
services
as
well.
G
For
the
record
demon
gonzalez,
yes
ma'am,
we
we
do.
We
have
we
partner
up
with
the
dental
hygiene
school
at
tmcc
and
they
provide
dental
cleanings
for
the
patients
that
we
see
for
a
very
discounted
price,
and
it's
it
just
works
every
six
months
they
can
come
in.
They
can
get
their
teeth,
cleaned
for
minimal
cost.
G
Sometimes
it's
pro
bono,
but
sometimes
it's
not,
but
the
cost
is
so
small
that,
yes,
they
do
come
in.
So
in
terms
of
maintenance,
when
a
patient
comes
through
our
program
from
the
time
they
get
into
our
program
to
the
time
they
leave,
they
need
absolutely
nothing
in
terms
of
dental
care.
We
would
have
completed
everything.
The
the
the
next
part
of
our
program
is
maintenance.
G
So
what
we
do
is
we
partner
them
up
with
a
program
that
will
allow
them
to
maintain
their
dental
care
now
they
do
have
to
pay
for
it,
but
there's
plenty
of
programs
out
there
that
are
fifteen
dollars
a
month,
twenty
dollars
a
month
that
will
maintain
their
teeth
after
all,
of
the
work
that
we've
done
and
that's
affordable
to
them.
In
that
way,.
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much.
Thank
you

Mr

I'm
the
designated
question
asker
for
the

so
I
guess
andre.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the

Two
things
we
had
a
resolution
last
session
that
asked
our
federal
delegation
to
establish
a
federal
retirement
system
for
military
spouses.
F
Jeff
briskey
for
the
record,
no
I'm
not
familiar
with
kelly
may
douglas.
However,
we
do
participate
in
our
national
organization,
association
for
licensure
directors
and
teacher
certification,
where
we
are
looking
at
compacts
nationwide
through
all
jurisdictions.
F
D
A
Okay,
seeing
none,
I
have
a
quick
question.
I've
recently
heard
about
this
troops
to
teach
program
at
the
federal
level.
Do
you
do
any
work
with
them
or
how
could
this
work
in
conjunction
with
that
program?.
F
Yes,
thank
you
for
the
question
jeff
risky
for
the
record.
I
believe
dr
george,
anne
rice
is
leading
that
program
and
we
have
been
in
meetings
with
her.

I'll

a
way
for
us

of
a

one
for
the
collaboration
with
adoptive
vet,
dental
arp
