San Antonio Lives Bilingual VOL.XXI • NUM 36 www.LaPrensaSA.com 18 de mayo de 2016 San Antonio accomplishes mission ¡Hasta to end veteran homelessness siempre, Emilio Navaira! By Christina Acosta christina@laprensasa.com San Antonio has reached a historic milestone in the fight to end veteran homelessness. Mayor Ivy Taylor announced Friday morning that the City of San Antonio, with the help of other community members, has met the objectives of the Mayors Challenge to End Veteran Homelessness by successfully placing more than 1,335 homeless veterans into permanent housing. On hand to celebrate the success included U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Julián Castro, City Manager Sheryl Sculley, USAA and multiple nonprofit collaborative partners. For Mayor Taylor, this accomplishment was one that allowed her to understand a major issue occurring in San Antonio and develop a plan to give many a second chance. According to Haven for Hope, 29 out of every 10,000 veterans are homeless in the United States. “In January 2015, I pledged my commitment to the Mayors Challenge to End Veteran Homelessness,” Mayor Taylor stated. “Together, the City of San Antonio, our business sector led by USAA and our nonprofit partners achieved the goal of effectively ending veteran homelessness in our community.” The Mayors Challenge to End Veteran Homelessness is part of a larger White House Joining Forces Initiative supported by HUD, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness and the National League of Cities. The call-to-action was announced by First Lady Michelle Obama in June 2014 and was answered by more than 850 cities and communities across the United States. “San Antonio is a city with a strong military history that knows how to care for our veterans and their families,” Secretary Castro said. “That’s why we have an even greater responsibility to ensure that once they’ve served their nation, they have a safe, stable place to call home. I’m so proud to congratulate the city and its partners on working tirelessly to give our veterans a dignified home, setting an example for communities across the nation.” One of the main powerhouses to close the financial gap was USAA, whom contributed $2.1 million in January. The support from the City, state and federal resources have placed or are placing hundreds of homeless veterans into permanent housing. In order to keep the veterans in line, navigators have walked the veterans through every asSee Mission on page 9 Por Adda Montalvo adda@laprensasa.com Emilio Navaira ha partido, pero en su travesía por este mundo cumplió una misión importante para la identidad de los habitantes de este estado: llevar el género musical tejano al amplio gusto musical de la nación en la década de 1990. Conocido como El Rey de la Música Tejana, Emilio Navaira junto a Selena (la Reina de la Música Tejana) fueron las dos estrellas que encabezaron los años de oro de este género. Ellos, incluso, grabaron una canción a dueto: “Tú robaste mi corazón”. Por lo tanto, la noticia de su muerte el lunes 16 de mayo por la noche en su casa de New Braunfels aun conmociona a los amantes del género musical del Sur de Texas. Una estrella más ha muerto. De acuerdo a reportes policiales, oficiales del Departamento de Policía de New Braunfels llegaron a la casa de Navaira a las 8:20 p.m. de la noche del lunes 16, pues el cantante había sido encontrado inconsciente y sin respiración por su familia. Inmediatamente fue trasladado al hospital donde fue declarado muerto. De acuerdo a reportes posteriores, Emilio Navaira falleció de un ataque al corazón.

The university’s School of Health Professions just received approval from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board to offer the master’s degree to students who already have a bachelor’s degree in another field. No prior experience in a health-related field is required. The application deadline is June 15, with classes starting Aug. 22. Medical laboratory scientists are a critical part of the health care team who analyze medical samples in the clinical laboratory, and the job outlook is excellent, said Cheryl Burns, M.S., associate professor and director of the master’s degree program in laboratory science. “We make a significant difference in the quality of patient care. Physicians rely on laboratory test results in diagnosing illnesses and monitoring how patients are progressing in their treatment,” she said. Nearly 100 percent of graduates from the Health Science Center’s clinical laboratory sciences (CLS) program are offered jobs upon graduation in such areas as hospital laboratories, public health, medical clinics, the military and higher education teaching future CLS students. Prevention & Control While the 24-month bachelor’s degree in clinical laboratory sciences will continue to be offered, the new 27-month master’s program is designed to provide deeper knowledge to students who already have a bachelor’s degree in another field. It is expected to prepare students for higher-level positions and possibly faster advancement, Burns said. The degree is one of only two offered in Texas and a handful in the U.S. To learn more about the program including prerequisites, requirements, application and the career outlook, visit www. uthscsa.edu/academics/healthprofessions/programs/master-science-medical-laboratory-sciences, or contact Dr. Burns at burnsc@ uthscsa.edu or (210) 567-4318. The master’s degree in medical laboratory science is open to students who have a bachelor’s degree in another field. Applicants do not need prior health care experience or education.

SHP_20151076E-REV 18 de mayo de 2016 18 de mayo de 2016 LA PRENSA DE SAN ANTONIO The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio receives $500,000 gift from Frost Special to La Prensa Frost Bank and the Frost family have demonstrated their support for The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio by donating a $500,000 gift to the Hospital in honor of National Nurses Week. “It was personally significant to help The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio because my great-great-grandfather, Dr. Ferdinand Herff, was one of the two trained physicians practicing in San Antonio when the Sisters came here in 1869,” Tom Frost shared. Frost served as a founding member of The Children’s Hospital Foundation and has provided leadership, commitment and compassion for the past 59 years. The gift will be recognized in 22 nurses’ stations throughout the hospital. In conjunction with the monetary gift, Frost sponsored National Nurse’s Week activities to recognize all nurses that provide healing for the families. In addition to support from Frost Bank, this gift is also made possible by generous donors, Pat and Tom Frost, Kelley and Pat Frost and the Mary Peterson Wyatt Trust, Frost Bank, trustee. “Simply put, nurses take care of our children and families” said Pat Frost about the group’s support. “We are proud to place our names behind the nurses of The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio and want them to know that we appreciate them not only this week, but every single day.” “The quality of care demonstrated by the nurses throughout the hospital is immeasurable and would not be the same without the tireless dedication from each associate,” added Elias Neujahr, president of The Children’s Hospital. The nursing profession has been supported and promoted by the American Nurses Association (ANA) since 1896. Each of ANA’s state and territorial nurses associations promotes the nursing profession at the state and regional levels. Each conducts celebrations on these dates to recognize the contributions that nurses and nursing make to the community. Frost has been a financial leader in the community since its inception. In 1868, Frost began as a small San Antonio mercantile store and has grown to more than 120 financial centers across Texas. Throughout the decades, their values have not changed. They believe that philanthropy is the right thing to do to strengthen our community for generations to come. For more information, please visit www.frostbank.com.

Special to La Prensa Surgeons at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Physicians Ambulatory Surgery Center – Ewing Halsell (CSR PASC – EH) performed a laparoscopic myomectomy (gynecological procedure) using the da Vinci Surgical System, becoming the first ambulatory surgery center in South Texas to offer procedures using this high-tech, robotic surgical platform. “We are excited to bring this technology into an outpatient surgery center environment, especially for our women’s services,” said Valentin Almendarez, Jr., MD, boardcertified obstetrician and gynecologist. “The da Vinci Surgical System will allow us to perform operations through a few small incisions, which can help speed up recovery time for our patients.” Ambulatory surgery centers, like CSR PASC – EH, offer high-quality procedures and surgeries that are more cost-effective when compared to traditional hospital care. Patients can see savings of up to 50 percent at an outpatient surgery center. Physicians at CSR PASC – EH will be using the da Vinci robot to provide general and gynecological services, including robotic hysterectomies, single-site gynecological procedures, gallbladder and hernia surgeries. “We want our patients to have a comfortable experience whenever they’re at one of our Centers,” said Brad Hamilton, MBA, FACHE, vice president of Ambulatory Services for CHRISTUS Health. “By offering procedures using the da Vinci robot, our ambulatory surgery centers have stepped up our already unparalleled, high-quality, compassionate care to another level.” The da Vinci Surgical System is powered by robotic-assisted technology that allows the surgeon’s hand movements to be translated into smaller, precise movements of tiny instruments inside the patient’s body. Benefits to patients include smaller incisions, minimal blood loss, less post-operative pain, faster recovery time, low infection rate and no hospital stay – since they go home the very same day.

Pérez rperez@laprensasa.com La comunidad del Westside, especialmente las personas de generaciones anteriores, disfrutaron de un día de fiesta, nostalgia y de gratos recuerdos que permanecen indelebles en su memoria y en su corazón cele brando el Paseo por el Westside con música, sabrosos platillos tex-mex y amenidades para toda la familia. “Paseo por el Westside” es una producción anual de Esperanza Peace and Justice Center, que dirige Graciela Sánchez, presentada el sábado 7 de mayo con el propósito –además de ofrecer un sábado de entretenimiento para todas las edades- de mantener en actividad a uno de los sectores más antiguos de la ciudad y menos favorecidos económicamente, esto con pláticas culturales, muestras de la preparación de los alimentos en décadas anteriores y recorridos en autobús alrededor del sector oeste de la ciudad. El entretenimiento continuo estuvo a cargo del Grupo Taller de la ciudad de Monterrey, invitado especialmente para esta ocasión, alternando con el conjunto Grupo Heritage Taller, academia de música tejana de San Antonio, TX.

Pero aun lado de las barreras socio-económicas, el corazón del Westside late y vibra como el mejor, cuando se trata de hacer un alto en el camino y recobrar la energía para continuar en el diario trabajo. Y una muestra de tal determinación se puso de manifiesto con el número de asistentes a esta celebración en el Rinconcito de Esperanza, alojado en una casa típica del Westside con amplio jardín donde se respira un cálido ambiente de tiempos idos pero no olvidados. La celebración, que tuvo el sabor de una fiesta familiar, se llevó a cabo de 9 de la mañana a 3 de la tarde, donde la familia compartió platillos típicos texmex, música de fondo y música (continued from page 1) and unemployment,” Edward Gonzales, assistant director of the Department of Human Resources at City of San Antonio, told La Prensa. Although San Antonio has accomplished the goal of reducing veterans on the streets, there is more work to be done to keep the challenge flowing. In the future, many officials hope to direct their mission to help homeless individuals and families. “We need to continue to be able to follow up to make sure that they continue in the program…It is a dual journey so that those navigators walk through the process with the homeless veteran,” said Gonzales. “We are also preparing for new veterans that come into the system and into the community, but we have systems to help them out quickly…I think that the next step is to cover the whole spectrum of homelessness.” If you are interested in helping a homeless veteran or are in need of assistance, call South Alamo Regional Alliance for the Homeless (SARAH) at (210) 220-2382 or visit sarahomeless.org. en vivo con artistas de las nuevas generaciones y artistas jóvenes de corazón, como es el ejemplo de Beatriz Llamas y Rita Vidaurri, quienes acompañadas por el Mariachi Águila, interpretaron canciones mexicanas que llenaron toda una época en San Antonio.
