Quality care opportunities for local service members
MILACA — For the men and women who have served our country, access to quality health care is important. Mille Lacs Health System (MLHS) is proud to help local veterans receive the care they need, close to the communities they call home. As a participating provider in the Veterans Affairs (VA) Community Care Network, MLHS can provide a variety of healthcare services to eligible veterans through their VA benefits. This means veterans may not always need to travel to a VA medical center for appointments, specialty services or other healthcare needs. The VA Community Care Network connects eligible veterans with participating healthcare providers in their own communities. Veterans may qualify when a VA facility is too far away, a needed service is unavailable, appointment wait times exceed established standards, or community care is determined to be in their best medical interest. At MLHS, veterans may be able to access services such as primary care, orthopedics, cardiology, surgery, imaging, laboratory services, rehabilitation and other specialty care depending on their individual VA authorization. For veterans interested in receiving care at MLHS through their VA benefits, the process typically begins with their VA primary care provider. The VA care team can request a

Pioneers eye unfinished business with another state tournament trip
Pierz football traveled to Brainerd High School Nov. 5 to take on Pequot Lakes in the Section 7AAA Championship game. The undefeated Pioneers looked to keep their streak alive while earning their second straight trip to the Minnesota State Football Tournament. Pierz defeated Pequot Lakes 54-15. Pierz earned another trip to the state tournament behind another strong offensive performance and a dominant defensive effort. An offense that has put up plenty of points throughout the season continued to do the same against a good Patriots defense. The Pioneers’ defense helped create opportunities for the offense, recording five interceptions and recovering one fumble. The Pequot Lakes defense forced a three-and-out right away, making Pierz punt. The Pioneers’ defense responded by forcing the Patriots to punt as well. In the first quarter, Brayden Foust intercepted a Pequot Lakes pass and returned it to the Patriots’ 20-yard line. Foust then turned the turnover into his first rushing touchdown of the game, giving the Pioneers a 7-0 lead. Foust added to the lead with a 93-yard touchdown run after a big fourth-down stop by the Pioneers’ defense at their own 7-yard line. The touchdown gave Pierz a 14-0 lead with 11 minutes left in
