UU.: Baker, Gilliam, Grant, Lake, Harney, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Wallowa y Wheeler. Cada condado recibir\u00e1 aproximadamente $50,000 como parte de esta subvenci\u00f3n. Los veteranos de estos condados luchan incluso m\u00e1s que la mayor\u00eda para acceder a la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica, ya que deben viajar largas distancias para llegar a sus citas m\u00e9dicas.

\n

\u201cNuestros veteranos enfrentan tremendos obst\u00e1culos cuando regresan a la vida civil, incluido el acceso a la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica\u201d, dijo el Senador Merkley. \u201cAgradezco al VA no solo por reconocer la necesidad generalizada de un mejor acceso a la atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica entre los veteranos, sino tambi\u00e9n por actuar en consecuencia con esta subvenci\u00f3n. Seguir\u00e9 trabajando en el Congreso para obtener fondos para apoyar este programa clave para ayudar a los veteranos que lo necesitan. Es nuestra obligaci\u00f3n luchar por los valientes hombres y mujeres que se han sacrificado para luchar por nosotros\u201d.      <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Este es el tercer a\u00f1o que la ODVA recibe una de las Subvenciones de Transporte Altamente Rural de VA. Para obtener el valor m\u00e1ximo de cada subvenci\u00f3n, ODVA trabaja con cada condado o distrito de transporte para trabajar en conjunto con los programas existentes o encontrar nuevos enfoques innovadores para el transporte m\u00e9dico.<\/span><\/p>\n

Estas subvenciones ya han tenido un impacto significativo e inmediato. El a\u00f1o pasado, el programa result\u00f3 en 5,453 viajes para veteranos a citas m\u00e9dicas en los diez condados participantes, conduciendo 274,600 millas y pasando 9,871 horas en la carretera. Los viajes que realizaron estos diez condados de Oreg\u00f3n representaron casi la mitad del total de viajes proporcionados bajo el programa nacional VA.<\/span><\/p>\n

Para los veteranos que viven en uno de los condados altamente rurales participantes, el transporte hacia y desde todas las citas m\u00e9dicas es gratuito. Estos servicios incluyen recogida y entrega puerta a puerta en veh\u00edculos que cumplen con ADA, con asistencia para cargar o descargar sin costo para el veterano.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Para los veteranos interesados en obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n sobre el programa de transporte altamente rural, comun\u00edquese con su oficina local de ODVA. Encuentre la informaci\u00f3n de contacto de su condado aqu\u00ed<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
