Health care’s ‘backbone’ Federally Qualified Health Centers must grow to cover the uninsured and underinsured By Michael Lyle | Special to VEGAS INC

Money should never be the reason people don’t get the health care they need, but it often is. That’s why in the 1960s, during the anti-poverty movement, the roots of Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) were created as a response to the struggles of poor communities to cover medical and mental health needs. ¶ “They have quite literally become health care, Continued on page 15

Known for its iconic neon cowboy sign — Vegas Vic — the Pioneer Club opened in 1942 when gamblers Tutor Scherer, Chuck Addison, Bill Curland and Farmer Page fled California after authorities began cracking down on illegal gambling. The four were among the first to bring professional gambling to Las Vegas. Pictured here is a view of the property on Sept. 4, 1981. The hotel-casino closed its doors in 1995, citing an inability to compete with the giant resorts on the Strip, but Vegas Vic continues to greet downtown visitors.

Q&A with kelli little

Organ donation ‘is about life, not death’ By Rebecca Clifford-Cruz | Staff Writer

Kelli Little graduated from high school at 16 and attended Western Oregon University. She bounced from pre-dental to business to pre-nursing, until she took a contemporary health issues class that changed her life. “I immediately changed my major to community health education,” Little said. “I knew this was my calling, and I’ve never looked back.” Today, Little is community services supervisor at the Nevada Donor Network. Do you have any recent news you’d like to share? The Nevada Donor Network team is now more than 120 people strong. We have almost doubled over the past several years. Providing hope and strength to those we serve makes it easy to connect with the mission. The culture keeps us engaged. I don’t mean the ping-pong tables and free snacks. I mean the people who work together to find innovative solutions for saving and healing lives. What are your duties as the community services supervisor? I oversee a team that coordinates education and marketing efforts for the organization. My role is to ensure the team has the tools it needs to promote organ, eye and tissue donation. These education efforts take many forms, including our youth, DMV, multicultural and volunteer programs. We have the task of increasing the organ donor registration rate in Nevada, which is 43 percent. Kelli Little is community services supervisor at the Nevada Donor Network, and is a registered organ donor herself.

Your organization leads the nation in lives saved per capita through organ, eye and tissue donation. What is the driving force behind that? Our cultural transformation began in 2012. Once we refocused our people and passion, we saw recordbreaking success each year that followed. We are humbled to facilitate lifesaving and healing transplants on behalf of heroic donors and their courageous families. We owe our gratitude to these heroes who make our mission possible. What do you wish more people knew about your organization? Organ, eye and tissue donation is about life, not death. I’m registered as an organ donor because someone else should get the chance to live when I’m gone. Being a registered donor will not affect my medical care, and it will not cost my family any money. Why wouldn’t I want to donate my organs and tissues when I don’t need them anymore? Why wouldn’t I give some-

(L.E. Baskow/staff)

one else the chance to live? I only promote things that I believe in with all my heart and am willing to do myself. How did the Oct. 1 mass shooting on the Strip affect NDN? While there was not an impact on donations specifically, the chaos and heartbreak affected every member of this organization. The team pulled together to support our partners in their time of need and assisted however possible. Proceeds from this year’s annual awards gala support the first responders affected by the tragedy. What has been your most exciting professional project? I led Team Nevada at the 2014 Donate Life Transplant Games in Houston. At this biennial event, transplant recipients and living donors from across the country and the world compete in various activities, such as table tennis, swimming, and track and field, and they prove that transplants

save and heal lives. Our team of six athletes came home with 12 medals. The next Donate Life Transplant games are Aug. 2-7, in Salt Lake City, and we invite anyone interested in joining Team Nevada to visit nvdonor.org/teamNV. What’s your favorite place to have fun in Las Vegas? My 1-year-old loves to walk around the ponds, chase the rabbits and yell gibberish at the peacocks at Floyd Lamb Park. At least once a week, our family walks the trails at Red Rock National Conservation Area. Anytime we want to get out and enjoy a good restaurant or shopping, we head to Downtown Summerlin or Tivoli Village. What is your dream job outside of your current field? I dream of graphic design. Don’t graphic designers sit in yoga pants and sip on giant cups of coffee while leisurely staring at beautiful projects

on giant monitors every day? I realize it’s most likely not quite as glamorous as I envision, but it sure sounds lovely in my head. Whom do you admire? My mom raised two young kids on a single income while in school full time. She exemplifies grace, humility and perseverance. I realize now that I’m older what a struggle she endured, but she shielded me and my brother from a lot. I make a point to mirror her kind, gentle spirit daily. Most notably, she taught me that it’s possible to be soft (hearted) and strong (minded). What is your biggest pet peeve? Rudeness. It takes zero extra effort to speak and act courteously toward other human beings. As a subcategory, blatant line-cutters make me crazy. When someone seated three rows behind me on a plane jumps into the aisle to get off the plane before me, I take serious issue with it.

Treatment center focuses on teens, families By Rebecca Clifford-Cruz

times per week), intensive outpatient program (two to four days per week, three hours a day after school) and partial hospitalization programming (five days per week including school). Teens didn’t have to have been at the festival to develop PTSD. They can show symptoms if they had family members or friends there. They might handle internal conflict and emotional pain through aggression, withdrawal, isolation, emotional outbursts, failure to engage with others or neglecting their schoolwork.

Destinations for Teens, with six treatment centers in California and Nevada, specializes in helping teenagers with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as kids who engage in self-injurious behaviors. It also helps teenagers struggling with addiction and recovery. Describe your business and programs.

(mikayla whitmore/staff)

Who are your customers/patients?

Our expertise is with teens and their families; we also have worked extensively with LGBTQ teens. Although the teen may be the focus, the entire family faces the challenges. To treat families, we need families to be involved. We offer family therapy and multifamily therapy. Families are included in all aspects of treatment, specifically attending family therapy sessions with a member of our clinical team. What makes your therapies innovative?

Sometimes we offer outside-the-box approaches, like surfing, to challenge fears and teach teens to experience peace and calm while learning new skills. We also offer a trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy called SPARCS (structured psychotherapy for adolescents responding to chronic stress) Systemic Family Therapy. This approach treats teens and their families with kindness and empathy. What signs and symptoms should parents look for when assessing a child’s need for therapy?

This can be difficult; parents and others may overlook such signs, believing them to be a normal part of puberty. But when adolescents’ behavior changes drastically for no apparent reason — they may be acting withdrawn, frequently tired or depressed, or hos-

tile, for example — it could signal they are developing a drug-related problem. Other signs include a change in peer group, neglect of grooming, decline in academic performance, missing school, loss of interest in favorite activities, changes in eating or sleeping habits and deteriorating relationships with family and friends. Following events like the mass shooting on the Strip, are teens more susceptible to post-traumatic stress syndrome?

Our center is receiving more calls from parents and Nevada clinicians looking for therapy beyond the traditional once-a-week individual therapy. We offer three levels of care: outpatient (one to two

Why did you expand to Southern Nevada?

Our company has been growing organically since its inception in 2012. As we expanded programs in Southern California, we began to see an influx of calls from the Las Vegas area from families looking for services. Destinations already had a relationship with a few Las Vegas providers, and they encouraged us to bring our approach here. What do parents need to know about attentiondeficit/hyperactivity disorder and concerns regarding stimulant use and other medication?

ADHD is real; it is overdiagnosed in some cases and underdiagnosed in others. With appropriate medication, therapy and treatment, a child or teenager can really improve attention and focus. It is important to establish an accurate diagnosis first and rule out other possible causes of behavior issues such as lack of sleep and learning disorders. When monitored properly, stimulant medications can be helpful, but they do have side effects, such as appetite suppression or insomnia. For those who use stimulants but abuse marijuana, there is a higher risk of psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations. What are the myths, if any, about teens and substance abuse?

Many families feel guilty about seeking help for their children. Parents may act as if it’s their fault that their kids are in trouble. But drug addiction and mental health issues are not choices. The idea that drug abuse is a behavioral problem that parents would have discovered if they’d been paying more attention is simply unfounded.

No stigma for mental health care By Rebecca Clifford-Cruz Staff Writer

Describe your business.

Montevista Hospital is a mental health facility built specifically with our patients’ needs in mind. Montevista/Red Rock Behavioral Health provides behavioral health care to promote growth and structure for patients and families in Southern Nevada.

Montevista Hospital Address: 5900 W. Rochelle Ave., Las Vegas Phone: 702-364-1111 Website: montevistahospital.com Hours of operation: 24/7/365 Owned/operated by: Strategic Behavior Health In business since: 1985

Who are your patients/customers?

We treat children, adolescents, adults and seniors in both inpatient and outpatient settings. We also provide adolescent residential beds for our community’s needs with our psychiatric residential treatment facility. What sets your programs apart from others offered in the valley?

We think we have the best doctors, psychiatrists, therapists and social workers, nurses, mental health technicians and support staff in Las Vegas. We understand that patients have choices. We want them to choose Montevista/Red Rock because we have a proven track record of helping people get better. Of course, there are some exclusive programs offered, such as the adolescent psychiatric treatment facility, an outpatient adolescent chemical dependency program, an inpatient trauma unit, and our outpatient electro-convulsive therapy treatment. How has treatment evolved in the past 10 years?

There have been new developments which have a positive impact on patient care. However, the biggest development has been the improvement in access to behavioral health services. It is much easier to connect

to needed services in 2017 than it was in 2007. What is your business philosophy?

Our treatment is tailored to meet the needs of our patients. The time a patient stays in our program is based on how they are progressing, not how many days their insurance will allow.

What is the hardest part about doing business in Las Vegas?

In a growing city of 2 million-plus, perhaps the hardest part is making sure that people know what services and support are available, and making it as easy as possible to connect. We work closely with local government, law enforcement, military and other health care facilities and agencies to provide care to our community. What obstacles has your business overcome?

One of the biggest obstacles that we must overcome is the stigma associated with mental health treatment. Seeking help and the desire to feel better are signs of tremendous personal courage that we should all encourage rather than discourage. Are there any plans for expansion on the local or national scale?

Our services and programs will continue to expand and change with the needs of the community. Our new inpatient trauma unit is a perfect example. The needs of the local military, veteran, law enforcement and business communities determined that a trauma unit was needed in Las Vegas. As a result, patients in need of trauma recovery or post-traumatic stress treatment can stay here rather than having to travel for treatment.

The carnival-themed development will have a 103-foot diameter carousel rotating over a man-made lagoon, electric bumper cars that light up when bumped and a nighttime parade with 10-12 floats that guests can pay to join. The development also will have a 47-story, 1,500-room hotel with its own convention space, casino and restaurants. Wynn had spoken about plans for a hotel in early discussions about the project. But in his 2017 first-quarter earnings, he said he had tem-

porarily shelved plans for the hotel. “We would leave room for our new tower that could be a couple of thousand rooms,” Wynn said at the time. “We would leave room for everything, master plan it, but build at first the park that would immediately power up our existing restaurants, our existing casino, our existing convention meeting and catering operation.” Now, he has decided to retain the hotel. Wynn said the nighttime parade would feature “edgier” floats with themes such as King Kong, spiders and the devil. In addition, he said, there would be regular fireworks, zip lines and other attractions on the boardwalk that surrounds the lagoon, plus space for other developers to build projects. “We are leaving 40-60 acres on the far east of the project open for development in the future. And we are talking with several applicants or possibilities who already are in negotiations with us,” he said.

The Stirling Club, the long-closed haunt of Las Vegas cognoscenti, will be auctioned this week. The auction for the property on Paradise Road, now being represented by commercial real estate firm Colliers International, will be staged on real estate auction site ten-x.com Nov. 6-8. The opening bid has been set at $3.6 million; bidders must place a $50,000 deposit to get a chance to buy it. The private club has been dark since May 2012. Surrounded by the four high-rise Turnberry Towers, the building was once known as Mansion at Turnberry Place and was available to Turnberry residents for a $400-a-month membership fee. The club became a well-known hangout for notable locals and celebrities. Kelly Clinton, wife of singer Clint Holmes, was the club’s entertainment director, and Strip entertainers would perform there. The 73,576-square-foot building was an ideal upscale hangout, with its lounge and adjoining restaurant, spa, pool and gym, tennis courts, two kitchens, 10 bedrooms, 20 bathrooms and separate staff quarters. The main building is appointed with marble, brass, polished-wood effects and redcarpeted stairways. In the wake of the recession, however, the club became a financial loser and closed. In October 2013 the owners, Jeffrey and Jackie Soffer and their company, Turnberry Associates, sold the property for $10,546,000 to a group of investors, JDLB LLC and JDLB Mansion LLC. Steve Neiger, an associate vice president at Colliers, said his firm had received interest in the property from investment groups in China, California and Colombia. The burgeoning growth of the north Strip, he said, is one reason why.

Richard Branson’s Virgin Hotels looking to expand to Las Vegas By thomas moore Staff Writer

Virgin Hotels, part of the Virgin Group founded by billionaire Richard Branson, could soon be entering the Las Vegas market. A spokeswoman for the company confirmed it was looking at locations here. “Virgin Hotels, in partnership with Bosworth Hospitality Partners, LLC and Juniper Capital Partner, LLC, is in the due diligence phase on an asset,” said Amanda Caskey, a senior director with a public relations and market-

ing agency representing Virgin Hotels “With that, they, collectively, have been approached for additional opportunities in the market.” Caskey did not specify which property Virgin was looking at. Richard Bosworth, the founder of Bosworth Hospitality Partners, confirmed the talks. “We are highly energized right now in pursuit of procuring a Las Vegas casino hotel resort,” he said. Bosworth has a long-standing relationship with Juniper, and began working with Virgin in February. Juniper

Capital Partner did not return email requests for comment. Branson called Las Vegas a “mainstay destination for our travel companies and our customers.” On the Juniper website, the company describes itself as “an investment firm with a predisposition toward distressed or out-of-favor assets with attractive valuations. ... Juniper Capital investments typically require substantial repositioning.” Anthony F. Lucas, a professor in UNLV’s hotel administration schools, said Virgin would be a good addition to

the market. “I love what they’re doing,” Lucas said. “I like any business that’s savvy enough to think like a guest.” The Virgin transaction would follow other recent Strip resort deals. Last month, Golden Entertainment finished its purchase of American Casino & Entertainment Properties, which owned the Stratosphere. Last August, the Fontainebleau was sold to Witkoff and New Valley LLC for $600 million, and last June, Alex Meruelo and Meruelo Group announced it was purchasing the SLS.

‘In Nevada, we should have about 100 FQHCs’ the backbone for health care for underinsured and low-income communities,” said Angela Quinn, CEO of FirstMed Health and Wellness Center. In Nevada, four nonprofits have the full federal designation, two with locations in the Las Vegas Valley. While their outlets for subsidized care crisscross the state, Quinn says needs still aren’t met. “In Nevada, we should have about 100 FQHCs. You look at our demographics: For every 7,000 people who are at or below median income, there is one doctor to provide primary care. It should be 2,000 to 1.” Operational since 2009, FirstMed joined Nevada Health Centers in 2013 as one of the valley’s FQHCs, which reA look inside a waiting room during an Oct. 27 tour of the Shadow Lane location ceive funding from the U.S. Department of FirstMed Health and Wellness.

beyond treating an ailment The notion of clinics serving lowincome communities may conjure an image of subpar facilities and care. But walking into FirstMed’s Shadow Lane location, which opened in 2016, it looks like any doctor’s office. “We want everyone who works here to be willing to take their families here,” Quinn said. FirstMed acts as a primary care provider, offering obstetrics and gynecology referrals, electrocardiographs, nebulizer treatments, chronic disease management, treatment and diagnosis for minor illnesses, sexually transmitted infection screenings and physicals (it refers patients to other nonprofits for vision and dental care). But because of the populations it serves, care can go beyond treating an ailment. FirstMed has worked to secure more stable housing for clients and even helped pay for car repairs. “If it’s a pregnant mother of three who doesn’t have a car, we can pay for her ride,” Quinn said. “If it’s 105 degrees outside, we will get everyone a ride home.” Operating on about $6 million per year, FirstMed relies on federal and state funding and a variety of private grants. “We get a grant from the state for those nonmedical wraparound services. Then we get anomaly grants, like $200,000 to hire someone to distribute (treatment) for medically managed opioid addictions,” Quinn said. A $3 million Victims of Crime Act grant from the state was redirected after the Oct. 1 mass shooting on the Strip to “help meet the medical, emotional and financial needs of victims now and for months to come as they continue to heal.” According to a news release, that includes medical care, counseling and financial assistance for short-term living needs like mortgage or rent payments, food and prescriptions. But this was a response to immediate tragedy. The lack of mental health services is an ongoing issue in Nevada, prompting FirstMed and Nevada Health Centers to add behavioral health to their offerings. It’s one illustration of how FQHCs reach past their core mission of primary and preventive care for at-risk communities. Nonprofit status gives them the flexibility to apply funding to more specific areas of need, whether it’s mental health or the opioid crisis. “We are still filling in the gaps as we see them,” Tallman said.
