At a time most physicians his age are expanding their practice and building their nest eggs, Dr. Joe Heck is preparing for war.
Heck, an emergency room doctor at University Medical Center, is probably best-known in the press as the Republican state senator from District 5. As if that weren’t enough to keep the 46-year-old father of three busy, he’s also a colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve with more than 16 years of experience.
Heck will put that experience to the test beginning Jan. 26, when he’s scheduled to leave Southern Nevada for Fort Benning, Ga., for processing before starting a 90-day tour of duty at a combat support hospital in Iraq.
