VA Loma Linda Healthcare System senior leadership will hold a Veterans’ Town Hall at 2 p.m. Sept. 18 in the auditorium of the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial Veterans Medical Center at 11201 Benton Street in Loma Linda. The town hall is designed to gain open and honest feedback from veterans, their family members and other beneficiaries. Senior leadership and other subject-matter experts from the local VA healthcare system will be present to improve communication with and hear directly from veterans and their families. VA also welcomes input from congressional stakeholders, veterans service organizations, non-governmental organizations and other community partners at the meeting. Following the town hall, representatives from various VA programs will be available to provide assistance to veterans who may not be enrolled in the health care system. “Caring for veterans is a calling, and our first commitment is to provide veterans and their families the timely, quality care and benefits they have earned and deserve through their service to our nation,” said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Robert McDonald. “As we seek continual improvement and to rebuild trust among veterans, it is critical that we continue to listen and learn directly from those who use our system.” The Jerry L. Pettis Memorial VA Medical Center is the centerpiece of the VA Loma Linda Healthcare System. Opened in 1977, it is located ½ mile from its major affiliate, Loma Linda University. VA also provides primary care and mental health at outpatient clinics located in Blythe, Corona, Palm Desert, Murrieta, Rancho Cucamonga and Victorville.

A residence shows visible damage from flooding, mud and debris following severe winter storms that began Dec. 23, which brought heavy rain and debris flows to mountain and high desert communities across San Bernardino County. This week, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors approved recovery-related fee waivers to help eligible property owners repair and rebuild as response and long-term recovery efforts continue.

Photo Caption: Crime in San Bernardino has dropped by 30 percent or more throughout the city. One reason is that there are more officers on the streets. The Police Department’s goal is to have 350 sworn officers. Current full-time staffing is reported at 295 sworn officers and 156 professional staff.
