VA Clinic Independence Promises Not Kept in Henderson
Henderson VA clinic remains financially independent though two pledges by John Chase of the VA were not fulfilled. Gene Welsh, head of a Las Vegas veterans PAC, cites planned transfer from Reno District 27 to Southern California District 26 and autonomy over patient fees as unkept. Dr. Philip Goldman says some Reno support remains, but Henderson operates independently with plans for expanded local facilities.
