1 00:00:01,240 --> 00:00:05,220 Mhm . The overall purpose of I . R . T . 2 00:00:05,220 --> 00:00:08,220 Is to provide a joint mission between 3 00:00:08,220 --> 00:00:10,140 the Army , Navy Air Force and the 4 00:00:10,140 --> 00:00:12,251 marines . But the number one thing is 5 00:00:12,251 --> 00:00:13,973 training the other pieces just 6 00:00:13,973 --> 00:00:16,320 providing no cost health care to the 7 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,376 community . So it's essentially like 8 00:00:18,376 --> 00:00:20,750 it's a humanitarian mission . So there 9 00:00:20,750 --> 00:00:22,917 are multiple I . R . T . S . That take 10 00:00:22,917 --> 00:00:26,150 place from civil engineering to medical 11 00:00:26,340 --> 00:00:29,150 Georgia is medical this month and 12 00:00:29,150 --> 00:00:31,317 Kentucky will be the next location for 13 00:00:31,317 --> 00:00:34,090 it in july . So we do multiple I . RTs 14 00:00:34,090 --> 00:00:35,460 throughout the year . 15 00:00:35,470 --> 00:00:42,890 We're 16 00:00:42,890 --> 00:00:45,057 actually providing a service that most 17 00:00:45,057 --> 00:00:47,112 people in this community either they 18 00:00:47,112 --> 00:00:49,223 don't have access to . Maybe they may 19 00:00:49,223 --> 00:00:51,960 not have the resources to pay for it . 20 00:00:52,340 --> 00:00:55,010 It's really hard to describe how much 21 00:00:55,010 --> 00:00:58,060 we appreciate it . Um Because we only 22 00:00:58,060 --> 00:01:01,140 have two part time doctors uh we have 23 00:01:01,140 --> 00:01:04,530 8500 people . There is a really great 24 00:01:04,530 --> 00:01:08,050 need for medical services here . They 25 00:01:08,050 --> 00:01:10,510 are allowed to see either dental or 26 00:01:10,510 --> 00:01:12,900 optometry but they are always able to 27 00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:16,480 see medical or mental health . We 28 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,360 are checking vision inter ocular 29 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,980 pressures . We're getting their 30 00:01:21,990 --> 00:01:24,490 preliminary readings with auto fracked 31 00:01:24,500 --> 00:01:26,900 and at the end of this they'll be 32 00:01:26,910 --> 00:01:29,890 getting a at no cost pair of frames 33 00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:32,350 full time . I work in an optometry 34 00:01:32,350 --> 00:01:34,350 clinic with java . I already worked 35 00:01:34,350 --> 00:01:38,310 with veterans . I really enjoy 36 00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:40,560 I . R . T . S because it can help me 37 00:01:40,570 --> 00:01:42,730 give back to the community . I mean 38 00:01:42,730 --> 00:01:45,020 we've had people shed tears . It's a 39 00:01:45,020 --> 00:01:48,740 really wholesome experience . So a lot 40 00:01:48,740 --> 00:01:50,851 of our patients in this community had 41 00:01:50,851 --> 00:01:53,010 to travel a long way , relatively a 42 00:01:53,020 --> 00:01:55,320 long way . You know , to get here . At 43 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,320 some point you have to realize that 44 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,653 what we're doing is extremely important . 45 00:01:59,653 --> 00:02:01,709 Day one we had one patient . Day two 46 00:02:01,709 --> 00:02:03,931 was 26 patients . Then it shot up to 49 47 00:02:03,931 --> 00:02:05,820 patients in 48 patients . Then it 48 00:02:05,820 --> 00:02:07,931 jumped out of up to 64 patients . The 49 00:02:07,931 --> 00:02:10,042 total cost of health care is over 100 50 00:02:10,042 --> 00:02:12,540 and $20,000 in less than two weeks . 51 00:02:12,550 --> 00:02:14,606 You know that we've saved the county 52 00:02:14,606 --> 00:02:16,980 that we've offered at no cost to the 53 00:02:16,980 --> 00:02:19,420 community . People eventually get here 54 00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:23,080 conducting military does 55 00:02:23,090 --> 00:02:26,860 care . If you just look at the messages 56 00:02:26,860 --> 00:02:29,082 on the wall and they're in every hall , 57 00:02:29,540 --> 00:02:31,151 you can see how much they're 58 00:02:31,151 --> 00:02:34,720 appreciated very much appreciated . Um , 59 00:02:34,730 --> 00:02:36,590 everybody says how myself a 60 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,280 professional well , and that coast 61 00:02:39,290 --> 00:02:42,010 comes with the military presence . But 62 00:02:42,020 --> 00:02:43,150 I'm very thankful 63 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:57,340 thing , 64 00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,050 right .
