Bill Villafana sent a message to James Murren that said:
I have a solution which will safely and effectively open up the casinos, hotels and entertainment venues. I currently have a staff of roughly 40 physicians, RNs, NPs , PAs and Medical Assistants willing to assist me in this endeavor. They are ready and available immediately to set-up in safety/testing stations in strategic areas. It is imperative that our Las Vegas visitors feel healthy, safe and secure I believe this can be done very quickly in a cost-effective manner to get our hotels, casinos and events up and running post haste.
I believe I am one of the very few uniquely qualified people in the USA to lead this pilot. I have already worked with many of the hotels and casinos nationally, treating their patrons for illnesses and injuries over the past 30 years. To name a few of our clients, MGM hotels, Caesarâs Palace hotels, Tropicana, Sahara and Westgate.
We have also worked with events here in Las Vegas, examples the VH-1 Music Awards, Celine Dionâs show. Motion pictures we have worked with 21 and Next among others.
My company pre-COVID-19, was called Doctorâs House Calls International, it is now known as House Med Inc, with which I plan on making an offshoot called Quick Check Wellness specifically for this project.
Benefits we can provide:
1. Fully-vetted licensed, qualified healthcare professionals
2. On-site temperature/COVID-19 testing (when fully available)
3. An assistant in each safety station which will hand out masks, gloves and booties. A 2nd assistant is advisable in order to speed along the process as well as providing a wristband and/or picture ID card to each patron for security purposes. Keeping in mind that there are persons that are blacklisted from entering a casino, security will be of importance as patrons will be wearing masks.
4. Uniquely experienced personnel in managing such an operation.
Of course, social distancing rules would stay in place as would any other guidelines set forth by authorities such as yourself.
I hope this project appeals to you as we would not only generate much needed business but also put many people back to work and keep Las Vegas alive.
Sincerely,
Bill Villafana,
CEO, House Med, Inc.
