Ted Pappageorge, Secretary-Treasurer for the Culinary Union, expressed enthusiasm for the project, saying, "Culinary Union has a decades-long history of advocating for and winning health care legislation that improves access to quality care, strengthens patient protections, lowers costs, and increases transparency – benefiting the entire state of Nevada and all Nevadans."
He added, "Today, we are thrilled to celebrate the official groundbreaking of the fourth cutting-edge Culinary Health Center in the Las Vegas Valley. Culinary Health Center - Tropicana represents our unwavering commitment to providing Culinary Union members and their families with accessible, high-quality health care, including dental care, primary and pediatric care, and more – just miles from the Las Vegas Strip where the majority of Culinary Union members work."
