As yet another brutal cold front bears down on our area, the Prince William Professional Fire Fighters are happy to relay that with the help of our community we have been able to supply over $2,000 in winter coats to children right here in our community. As public servants we are often called to help our neighbors in the most desperate moments of their lives. We are afforded, like it or not, a raw view of the struggle that families are enduring right here in Prince William County. It is awe inspiring to see the community that we serve rally to help those in need.
We held multiple fundraising efforts throughout last year. These included church collections, a poker run, and first annual Prince William Cup Soccer Tournament between PWC Career Fire Fighters and PWC Police. The coats were distributed through Elizabeth Vaughan Elementary School in Woodbridge and BARN Transitional Housing for homeless women and children in Bristow.
We were able to give brand new, AMERICAN MADE, coats to over 60 children throughout the county. As we have a special insight in to the lives of these children, we know these coats are much more than a gift of warmth. Kids who are used to hand me downs were given a brand new garment because of hard work and the generosity of the community we serve. This is a priceless present that makes members of Local 2598 proud to serve the caring community of Prince William.

Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, direct availability, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
