Like many of you, I was appalled at the current situation
concerning the hepatitis outbreak and the link to a medical facility. As a
physician, I know and understand the potentially devastating consequences of
these diseases, and, as your State Senator, I took immediate action to
address this critical issue. I was the first in the state to call for the
Governor to convene the Nevada Academy of Health to investigate the
Hepatitis C outbreak. I was also the first to call for more frequent
inspections of free-standing ambulatory surgical facilities. Please be
assured that I will continue to closely monitor this issue and that I stand
ready to assist any of you who may be affected by this unfortunate
incident. |
