Schumer Pushes for Community Based Outpatient Center","summary":"Port Washington, NY","eventType":"chuck-around-ny","eventTypeLabel":"Chuck Around NY","date":"July 16, 2018","url":"about/chuck-around-new-york/sen-schumer-pushes-for-community-based-outpatient-center","city":"Port Washington","county":"Nassau","lat":40.8278753,"lng":-73.65341419999999,"description":"On July 16th 2018, with local Long Island vets required to travel—what can amount to hours—for basic medical care they’ve earned, and on the heels of news that the North Hempstead Board will request the federal government install a community-based outpatient clinic (CBOC) within the Town of North Hempstead, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer made a public push for the federal government to formally agree to establish the clinic and deliver a mobile unit in the meantime. Schumer was joined by area vets as he made the case to the feds.\r\nSchumer pointed out that this request isn’t just about giving North Hempstead what it wants. There is marked need. For a slew of veterans standing with Schumer, today, and others across the North Shore of Nassau, receiving the care they require from the VA to maintain their health can be challenging because the closest medical center in the Northport region requires an hour-plus drive, Schumer said. And the two other outpatient clinics in the County sit in Valley Stream and East Meadow, also too far for many people to trek. Schumer said a new clinic in one of the nation’s most populated towns, North Hempstead, is a no brainer that would give the many vets on the North Shore better access to the care they have earned. Schumer cites these aforementioned drive times and an aging, and even expanding, vets population as some of the mainstay reason the feds should move fast to meet the Town’s request."}}
