VISN 20 Northwest MIRECC - Clinical

Clinical Highlights:

Deployment Health Clinic

We have developed a Deployment Health Clinic for combat veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. This integrated, multidisciplinary clinic provides “one stop shopping” post-deployment evaluations with easy access, integrated care and de-stigmatized mental health assessment and interventions.

This model is being disseminated nationally with DHC founder and MIRECC investigator Stephen Hunt, MD leading this effort.

The MIRECC African-American Veterans Stress Disorders Program

The MIRECC African-American Veterans Stress Disorders Program is a model program for African-American veterans. Co-facilitated by Vietnam First Cavalry Division combat veteran Lemanuel Jones and MIRECC Director Dr. Murray Raskind, the program has been rated significantly superior to standard PTSD psychotherapy by over 500 African-American veterans.
