“We envision and seek to create a world where warriors who live with PTSD and TBI have access to the timely and quality care they need to recover, heal, and move forward with their lives.”Īccording to WWP’s Annual Alumni Survey results, 75.2 percent of respondents experience PTSD and 43.2 percent have incurred a TBI, and while the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is committed to trying to meet this demand, WWP recognizes VA cannot heal the invisible wounds of war alone and intends to collaborate with area VA facilities and programs whenever possible. “The invisible wounds that our injured warriors struggle with every day have devastating long-term consequences on their health, yet too often they have difficulty seeking and getting timely and effective care for these conditions,” said Jeremy Chwat, chief program officer at WWP. Through this cutting-edge initiative, WWP and its partners plan to serve thousands of wounded veterans and family members over the next three years. Warrior Care Network will expand regional outpatient programs and develop innovative two- to three-week intensive outpatient programs that will provide individualized care that is tailored to each wounded veteran and family member. The four founding academic health care partners of Warrior Care Network are: Emory’s Veterans Program at Emory University, Atlanta the Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Home Base Program Operation Mend Program at University of California, Los Angeles and Road Home Program at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. WWP and its Warrior Care Network partners will commit $100 million over three years to ensure that thousands of wounded veterans do not fall through the cracks.

Warrior Care Network will increase access to quality care for two of the most commonly experienced wounds of the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan: post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI).
