DENTAL EDUCATOR CHOOSES NEVADA STATE BANK PROFESSIONAL BANKING “Patrick has years of experience in dealing with professional medical clients, and when I talked with him about refinancing the

house,

was

immediately able to help. Things just fell into place, and I’ve been very happy with N eva d a St ate B a n k since then.” – Dr. George McAlpine

Dr. George J. McAlpine is Associate Professor and Director of the Advanced Education Program, General Practice Residency at the UNLV School of Dental Medicine. Dr. McAlpine, who served as a dentist in the U.S. Air Force for 25 years, was stationed at Nellis Air Force Base when he retired from the military and decided to make Southern Nevada his home. Although Dr. McAlpine had originally financed his home with a local credit union, when he wanted to refinance the mortgage a few years later, the credit union was unable to help him. It was at that point that he met Patrick Milbank of Nevada State Bank’s Professional Banking Group. “Patrick has years of experience in dealing with professional medical clients, and when I talked with him about refinancing the house, he was immediately able to help,” said Dr. McAlpine. “Things just fell into place, and I’ve been very happy with Nevada State Bank since then.” The relationship, which began in 1999, has grown to include other banking products, and Patrick recently helped Dr. Alpine refinance the mortgage for an investment property. As a Certified Medical Banker, Patrick understands the unique financial needs of medical professionals like Dr. McAlpine, and is able to customize a suite of banking products to fit their needs. Dr. McAlpine enjoys teaching and mentoring new dentists in the General Practice Residency program, a one-year program that offers advanced training in most dental specialty areas. A lifelong supporter of dental education, he and his wife, Feride, graciously open their home each year to host an annual event on behalf of the School of Dental Medicine, welcoming incoming residents to the program. Dealing with a Certified Medical Banker like Patrick Milbank can be a real advantage for healthcare professionals: finding the right lending products to fit your needs, helping you with day-to-day banking issues, and going the extra mile to make sure you’re satisfied with your family’s financial plans. Whether your needs are personal or business banking, lines of credit* or equipment financing*—or possibly a new mortgage* for that dream home you’ve been waiting to purchase—Nevada State Bank is here to help you. If you’re looking for a true banking relationship where your banker is available when you need them, call us today at 702-706-9618. We’ll be happy to meet with you and discuss how Nevada State Bank’s Professional Banking Group can help you achieve your financial dreams. – Randy Boesch

N DERS & TRAUMA THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR SAVING OUR LIVES FACE SPECIAL CHALLENGES

ummertime in Las Vegas. For some that means vacation, for others it means hiding out in air conditioned buildings; for first responders, it means an increase in child drownings. Word of a child drowning is devastating for the average person. Despite the training and support first responders have, the child’s drowning can be just as devastating. Some

crews see multiple children drown in a month, in a week, or even in a shift.

“Many of us have been doing this a long time and have exceptional training, but that doesn’t exempt you from trauma or post-traumatic stress” said Mike Courtney, Clark County Firefighter and member of the CCFD Peer Support Team. “This past year there was a nationwide study that showed suicide amongst firefighters has risen above heart disease; this is the first we’ve seen that.” Suicide rates among firefighters and police officers are higher than the national average. According to the Firefighter Behavioral Health Alliance, 117 firefighters,

EMTs and paramedics died by suicide in 2015. The Badge of Life sites that 108 police officers died by suicide in 2016. Both data sets come from the United States. Despite being highly trained to save lives and help others, first responders are also more heavily prone to addiction, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. “We go on calls every day, but certain calls can be more heinous than others,” said Courtney. “Mass casualties, calls that involve children or child death, dramatic blood and body parts; Certain calls are harder for the mind to wrap around than others.”
