#22 - Rotarian Foundation of Livermore Health Van
|
Immediately following Marty and Jim we have the Valley Care Mobile Health Unit,
driven today by Lillian Gonzalez from Valley Care. This fully equipped vehicle,
was provided by the same Rotarian Foundation of Livermore that Dr. Marty Plone
helped found. The Foundation purchased this 39-foot, custom-made mobile health
unit and donated it to Valley Care hospital in 2006 and Rotarians continue to
support it. The hospital operates and maintains the unit, using it to provide
care at schools, senior centers, and other places where needed. The Health Van
also provides Valley Care with a key resource with lots of flexibility in case
of a disaster. The unit marks a huge milestone for the Rotarian Foundation

to resources, both private and public, through partnering with business,
government and civic organizations. Livermore Military Families is a vital group
that provides networking and support for families of those deployed through
monthly support group meetings and Welcome Home Events. They play a key role in
the troop support efforts of the Livermore Veterans Foundation. The Warrior
Watch Riders provide honor guards to show respect for fallen heroes and their
families. They also provide welcome home honors for returning military. The
group wants all military personal to know they are backing them by providing
honor, support and prayers for their safe return. Please know that we have your
back! And to all our Veterans, thank you from the bottom of our heart!
