Veteran HealthCare
Veteran HealthCare, Inc.'s (VHC) goal is to create an understanding that each veteran, and his or her community are ultimately responsible for the extent of brain injury recovery and community re-integration. Placing all faith in a doctor and/or therapist is a way of abdicating that responsibility. The physician/therapist is not a healer; rather, he or she, along with the family, sets the stage for the veteran to recover and to heal. At its core, brain injury is an extraction of knowledge from the body’s systems. Medical procedures help temporarily, but the real solution lies in the veteran becoming aware of their loss and relearning it. This can take years, even decades to accomplish, but VHC's president, Julien Modica, MPH, MPP, has spent a lifetime proving it can be done and Veteran HealthCare, Inc. exists solely to make that journey possible for others.
