STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE
In the Year of Our Lord Two Thousand Eight
A RESOLUTION urging Congress to fund a community-based outpatient clinic for veterans in Keene.
Whereas, the United States Department of Defense has approved a community-based outpatient clinic for veterans to be located in Keene; and
Whereas, such outpatient clinics already serve veterans in Portsmouth, Somersworth, Tilton, Conway, and Manchester; and
Whereas, veterans residing in Keene and surrounding communities who may be ill and elderly must now travel many miles to appointments at distant clinics, even for minor procedures, frequently spending whole days in travel; and
Whereas, the Keene area veterans frequently miss essential checkups and therapies because of inclement weather and lack of proper transportation; and
Whereas, veterans residing in the Keene area deserve the same level of care as veterans residing in other areas of the state; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the New Hampshire general court urges Congress to fully fund a community-based outpatient clinic for veterans to be located in Keene, New Hampshire; and
That copies of this resolution be sent by the senate clerk to the Secretary of the Department of Defense and to each member of the New Hampshire congressional delegation.
Effective: April 16, 2008
