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.

The Road to 2026

Phase 1 (2020–2022) established the operational foundation of the National Center for Healthy Veterans. NCHV secured and dedicated Valor Farm, constructed its first village of 19 homes with a community center, and brought core systems, staff, and programs online.

Farming and equine services became operational, strategic alliances expanded, and basic programs were delivered sequentially with direct input from the first Patriots to refine the model.

Counseling and therapy were locally outsourced while early assessment tools and goal-progression methods were tested through limited, largely anecdotal research.

With 20 Patriots and 20 staff, Community Center #1 functioned as an interim wellness center, enabling NCHV to complete its initial research phase and validate the village-based approach.

Phase 2 (2023–2025) scaled the NCHV model from proof to platform. Two additional villages—40 homes with community centers—were initiated. One came online, the other is nearing completion. the Healthy Veterans Market became operational, and core infrastructure was prepared under the master plan, including architectural design and site readiness for the Family Lodge.

Programs expand ed beyond basic services to include vocational training, family-focused support, virtual outreach, and fully established equine therapy.

Onsite professional counseling replaced outsourced services, we initiated the accreditation process, and research advanced from anecdotal insight to empirical study within an IRB framework.

With 60 Patriots supported by 30 staff, Phase 2 institutionalized our model while generating the data required for long-term scale.

The Road Ahead

Phase 3 (2026-2028) The way ahead is very exciting for NCHV. Over the next two years NCHV will be positioned as the national leader in veteran care and recovery. Two additional villages—40 homes and two community centers—will be completed.

The Healthy Veterans Lodge complex will be fully funded and under construction, and the chapel finished.

With mature infrastructure in place a proven model, NCHV will export proven best practices and seed additional centers beyond Valor Farm across the country.

Counseling and therapeutic services will be fully internalized, delivering a comprehensive PMSER-enabled continuum of care through the Healthy Veterans Counseling Center.

As research enters Phase 3, NCHV will emerge as a national thought leader, supporting 100 Patriots with a professional staff of 50.
