Arlington, VA (September 14, 2022) – VHC Health™, a community-based health system providing medical services to the Washington, DC metropolitan area, is pleased to announce that it has received a donation of more than $5,500 from the proceeds of Bear Chase Brewing Company’s limited-release summer beer, “Doctor’s Orders,” crafted in appreciation of the exceptional care VHC Health provided to a member of the Bear Chase team.
When Charles Knoll, Bear Chase Brewing Company’s Brew Master, was diagnosed with kidney cancer last year, he needed both his kidney and a tumor removed. Charles was supported by several departments at VHC Health and spent time recovering in one of VHC’s medical units. To express appreciation for the top-quality care he received during this challenging time in his life, Charles crafted “Doctor’s Orders,” a light “Radler” style lager, as well as a commemorative VHC Health stein, to honor the hospital and give back to future patients.
The 9mm gun was loaded with seven bullets, including one in the chamber. It was located among the man’s carry-on items. When TSA officers spotted the firearm, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) Police were notified, confiscated the weapon and cited the man, a resident of Ft. Washington, Md.
“Our TSA officers are very good at detecting firearms and other prohibited items at security checkpoints,” said John Busch, TSA’s Federal Security Director for the airport. “Travelers play an important role in their personal experience traversing through a security checkpoint. That often starts with knowing all contents of their carry-on bag and which items should not be packed in that carry-on bag. All responsible gun owners know where their firearm is at all times and know how to pack it for a flight. It’s imperative they do a pre-trip inspection of their carry-on and positively account for their firearms. This will reduce the troubling number of passengers bringing weapons to the security checkpoints across the system.”
