Davis, que hab\u00eda pasado a\u00f1os tratando de obtener un sistema m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil de usar para los veteranos, se comunic\u00f3 con la oficina de Merkley a principios de este a\u00f1o sobre el tema.<\/p>\n<p>La oficina de Merkley se comunic\u00f3 con VA, que ahora dice que tiene un nuevo sistema en proceso. Llamado Opci\u00f3n 7, el sistema les dar\u00e1 a las personas que llaman en medio de una crisis de suicidio la posibilidad de obtener ayuda presionando un n\u00famero despu\u00e9s de marcar el VA. El nuevo sistema estar\u00e1 en funcionamiento en todas las instalaciones de VA para fines del verano, pero en respuesta a la defensa de Davis sobre el tema, la instalaci\u00f3n de White City tendr\u00e1 el nuevo sistema en funcionamiento este viernes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNecesitamos hacer mucho m\u00e1s para ayudar a nuestros veteranos que luchan contra la enfermedad mental y la depresi\u00f3n, pero mi esperanza es que este peque\u00f1o cambio ayude a salvar vidas\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cNunca dejar\u00edamos atr\u00e1s a nuestras tropas heridas en el campo de batalla y no podemos dejarlas aqu\u00ed en casa\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>El departamento de Salud P\u00fablica de Oreg\u00f3n public\u00f3 un informe en 2014 que mostraba que el suicidio es la principal causa de muerte entre los veteranos menores de 45 a\u00f1os.
