LAS VEGAS (KTNV) â Jack Ford is 90-years-old and on the move. For more than two decades, Ford has been walking the halls of the VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System as a Red Coat Ambassador.
âI probably get on average between 12 to 15,000 steps a day, depending again on how long I volunteer that day,â said Ford.
He helps guide veterans around the facility.
âOur job is to do whatever we can to make the veteran s experience a little bit more pleasant here,â Ford said. âIf they come in and they don t know where they re going, we help them get to wherever their appointment is. If they have a problem, we try to do our best to solve it.â
