Struggling
In Silence

Many veterans are haunted by things they saw or did while serving our country and come home to find themselves in harm’s way again, fighting a new enemy. 

We must eradicate the epidemic of veteran suicide. 

The VA is working hard to improve the mental health services they provide, but more must be done.  Our country needs a comprehensive solution that leverages private sector resources, expertise, and proven faith-based programs.

Our country needs
The National Center for Healthy Veterans.

The Mission of NCHV

Return Healthy Veterans To America

Our veterans have pledged their lives for our freedom, security, and prosperity. Healthy veterans are productive members of society, good employees, and positive role models, but not all of our veterans are healthy.

More veterans have committed suicide in the past 10 years than the number of combat deaths in the Vietnam War. Our veterans need America, and America needs healthy veterans.

The National Center for Healthy Veterans is a comprehensive scalable solution and a unique strategic initiative that will have national impact and Return Healthy Veterans to America.
