“Prince William and Fauquier Counties are home to many active-duty and retired military members and their families,” said Delegate Guzman. “They have dedicated their lives to protect our freedom and now we need to ensure they are able to thrive while back at home. Governor Northam, as a veteran himself, and his predecessor have already been working to improve the lives of this community. However, it is time that Prince William county residents share legislative ideas, so that their elected officials will bring their voices to the table. I look forward to working with my constituents to bring new ideas to Richmond. This community has done so much for this country and it is time we do greater things for them.”

“With nearly 800,000 veterans in Virginia, we are committed to supporting veterans through education and employment in the Virginia Values Veterans (V3) initiative, with healthcare services in our regional care centers, and with case workers to assist with federal VA claims,” said Senator McPike. “Virginia has added more veterans to our workforce than all other states combined. This town hall is an opportunity to hear directly from veterans in our community and connect to resources at the state level to support them and their families.”

Date: Wednesday, July 25th, 2018
Time: 6:30 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
Location: VFW Post 1503
14631 Minnieville Road, Dale City, VA 22193

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.”
