Joanne Parchetta is one of many Veterans helped by the Center for Equine Recovery, a program at Middle Tennessee State University. The idea behind the program was bringing Veterans in from the Veterans Recovery Center, part of Tennessee Valley VA in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Through interactions and learning about the behaviors of horses, Veterans could learn about themselves through their development in class.
“I know that you are not defined by chronic illness or physical disability but it can demoralize you and cause you to give up. This class with horses showed me that I can still achieve and I can still dream,” Parchetta said.

Getting Urgent Care At VA Or In-Network Community Providers | Veterans Affairs
Or you can fill your prescription through VA.
If your prescription is for a routine medicine or more than a 14-day supply, you must fill it through VA.
If you fill a prescription at an out-of-network pharmacy, you may have to pay the full cost. You can file a claim to request reimbursement for the cost.

Find an in-network community pharmacy
If you need help while at a community pharmacy, call us:

Call 888-901-6609 if the pharmacy is in Puerto Rico, Washington, D.C., or any of these states: AL, AR, CT, DE, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, NC, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NY, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, VA, VI, VT, WI, or WV.
Call 866-620-2071 if the pharmacy is in any of these states: AK, AS, AZ, CA, CO, GU, HI, ID, MP, MT, NM, NV, OR, TX, UT, WA, or WY.

We’ll pay you back for the cost of travel if both of these descriptions are true for you.
Both of these must be true:

You’re eligible for VA travel reimbursement, and
You travel to get care at a non-VA urgent care location in your community

We base your payment on the one-way distance to the nearest VA health facility or community provider that could have provided the care or service. We pay for only one-way (not round-trip) travel costs for unscheduled care.
Learn about VA travel pay reimbursement

No. Urgent care isn’t a replacement for your primary care provider (PCP). And your urgent care benefit doesn’t cover the preventive health services your primary care provider offers.
Use urgent care when you need treatment right away for minor illnesses and injuries. If you think the urgent care provider won’t understand your medical history or medicines, contact your primary care provider.

Contact your nearest VA health facility.

The National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA), an office of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), is responsible for providing a wide range of analytical and statistical support to NHTSA and the highway safety community at large, in the general areas of:

Human, vehicle, environmental, and roadway characteristics, as they relate to crash frequency and injuries
Identifying injury mechanisms and associated crash dynamics in motor vehicle crashes
Evaluating the effectiveness of crashworthiness, crash avoidance, and traffic safety efforts
Monitoring the magnitude of the traffic safety problem
Quantifying the benefits resulting from proposed agency rules.

	In addition to its own data input sources NCSA uses data from other governmental agencies, as well as crash files from a number of states, to support analytical activities. NCSA conducts onetime and ongoing analyses on a wide range of safety issues. Examples of recent analyses include:

Trends and Injuries in Non-Fatal Traffic Crashes.
Statistics Analysis of Alcohol-Impaired Driving Trends.
Seat Belt Use in the United States.
Evaluation of primary enforcement and other provisions of safety belt use laws.

NCSA also regularly publishes a variety of Research Notes, Crash*Stats, Traffic Safety Fact Sheets and Reports which provide information on crashes at the national and state levels. NCSA also produces many reports on Seat Belt Use in the States and Territories

Our Mission
	In realizing our mission we: target the collection and analysis of data and the dissemination of information to quickly identify potential problems and support data driven decisions and we continuously identify, advance and promote new technologies, systems and procedures that make information more complete, accurate, timely and accessible.

Guidelines for using DAV vans
DAV van passengers are expected to follow certain guidelines, established by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the DAV National Headquarters. These guidelines include the following:

All riders must be ambulatory (able to board and exit the van without the driver’s help).
The DAV van driver is only allowed to stop the van for rest stops, emergencies, and to pick up and drop off passengers. Passengers should not ask the driver to make side trips to take care of their personal business.
Passengers are not permitted to smoke, chew tobacco, drink alcohol, use foul language, or bring weapons, drugs, or any illegal substance on the van. Van drivers are not required to provide transportation to any Veteran who is intoxicated, abusive, or who poses a threat to the driver or other passengers.
Passengers should not do anything to distract the driver.
Passengers should wear seatbelts at all times. Any passenger who refuses to wear a seatbelt will be denied transportation.
The Current Trail | Placer County, CA
There are pit toilets, maps and other information about the Rubicon Trail and the local forests. There is also a spill kit depository. This provides a place to dispose of the rags, bags or soil that was used to pick up the fluid for anyone who might have had a fluid leak or spill while on the trail. It’s a big white box with a mail slot type opening on the side. Heading out of the staging area, you’ll soon come to a cobble strewn incline. This is the first hint that the trail requires four wheel drive. A little further up, there are some large rocks in the trail, this shows why a “high clearance” four wheel drive is recommended. This trail is not suited for “all-wheel drive” type vehicles.LakesOn your left will be McKinney Lake, although it looks like it should be named Lilly Lake. Lilly Lake is actually the second lake you see while driving the Placer County side of the Rubicon Trail.One half mile out of the staging area, there is a trail off to the right. This is the Buck Lake Trail. About one mile up this trail is Buck Lake which provides an area to camp and fish. The trail continues up to tie in to the Ellis Peak Trail. Continuing on the Rubicon, only about two miles from the staging area, you leave the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit and enter the Tahoe National Forest. The trail levels out for the next two miles.Soon you’ll come to a large open area right next to Miller Lake. There are camp sites on the north side of the trail with steel fire pits. There is a ramp to launch boats to explore or fish Miller Lake. Just past Miller Lake is a trail to the left. This is the route to Sourdough Peak and Richardson Lake with the Sierra Club’s Ludlow Hut. Sourdough Peak offers spectacular views in all directions but is best enjoyed to watch the sun set.

Passengers should not do anything to distract the driver.
Passengers should wear seatbelts at all times. Any passenger who refuses to wear a seatbelt will be denied transportation.
If a Veteran needs another individual (for example, a caregiver) to ride in the van with them, they need to get authorization from their VA attending physician or VA-certified nurse practitioner.
Veterans being discharged or granted passes can ride on a DAV van during the van's trip back to its home county only if space is available. The Veteran must be ready to leave when the van leaves the VA medical center.
Veterans should be dressed and ready to leave for the hospital at the time specified. Drivers can’t wait for Veterans who aren’t ready to leave at the appointed time.
Veterans can only bring with them items that they can hold on their lap or store under the seat.
The DAV van is not an emergency vehicle. The driver may refuse to transport any Veteran who appears to be too ill to ride the van.

Schuyler Flatts Burial Ground | The New York State Museum
“The hospitalities of this family were so far beyond their apparent income, that all strangers were astonished at them. To account for this, it must be observed that, in the first place, there was perhaps scarce an instance of a family possessing  such uncommonly well trained, active, and diligent slaves, as that I describe. The set that were staid servants when they married, had some of them died off by the time I knew the family; but the principal roots from whence the many branches, then flourishing, sprung, yet remained. These were two women, who had come originally from Africa while very young; they were most excellent servants, and the mothers or grandmothers of the whole set, except one white-woolled negroe-man; who in my time, sat by the chimney and made shoes for all the rest. The great pride and happiness of these sable matrons were, to bring up their children to dexterity, diligence, and obedience. Diana being determined that Maria’s children should not excel her’s in any quality, which was a recommendation to favour; and Maria equally resolved that her brood, in the race of excellence, should out-strip Diana’s. Never was a more fervent competition. That of Phillis and Brunetta, in the Spectator, was a trifle to it: and it was extremely difficult to decide on their respective merits; for though Maria’s son Prince cut down wood with more dexterity and dispatch than any one in the province, the mighty Cesar, son of Diana, cut down wheat, and threshed it, better than he. His sister Betty, who, to her misfortune, was a beauty of her kind, and possessed wit equal to her beauty, was the best sempstress and laundress, by far, I have ever known; and plain unpretending Rachel, sister to Prince, wife to Titus, alias Tyte, and head cook, dressed dinners that might have pleased Apicius. I record my old humble friends by their real names, because they allowedly stood at the head of their own class; and distinction of every kind should be respected. …

McKinney-Rubicon OHV Trail	

About the TrailThe Tahoe Engineering Division maintains a public easement and recognizes public rights to pass along the world-renowned Rubicon Trail within Placer County.  The trail is a challenging, rocky traverse across the beautiful Sierra Crest into the Lake Tahoe Basin from Wentworth Springs in El Dorado County. Travel is open to recreationalists year-round operating 4-wheel drive motor vehicles, off-road motorcycles, mountain bikers, equine riders, hikers and winter sport locomotion. A majority of the adjacent land to the trail is public, managed by the US Forest Service Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit and the Tahoe National Forest District.  There are some private parcels interspersed, and users should stay within the public easement. Trail MapTrail Map (PDF)Water Quality on the TrailThe Tahoe Engineering Division is mandated by the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board to preserve, enhance, and restore the quality of California's water resources within the Rubicon Trail public easement.  Threats to water quality can and will close the trail to all users.  Practices to protect water quality include: Stay on designated routes Look for trail markers Never drive through meadows Straddle ruts, gullies and washouts Cross streams at designated points Minimize wheel spin Never drive over vegetation Be patient at delays, do not cutStay off the trail during periods of heavy rain or snow melt to minimize sedimentationTrailheadThe McKinney-Rubicon Trailhead is approximately one mile west from the Tahoma neighborhood entrance on the west shore of Lake Tahoe. Trailer parking and pit toilets are available at the trailhead parking area. Follow posted signs to the trailhead. Users of the Rubicon Trail should always be respectful of neighborhood residents; dimming lights, minimizing noise, obeying posted speed limits, packing out garbage and being self-sufficient.
