Injured Service Member Support



Posted : Thursday Nov 30, 2006 15:11:28 EST

The 24-hour-a-day Military Severely Injured Center provides personalized assistance for all service members severely injured in Operation Iraqi Freedom or Operation Enduring Freedom to ensure they’re prepared either to return to duty or successfully reintegrate into their hometowns.

The center works with each of the military services’ support programs for the severely injured: the Army Wounded Warrior Program, the Marine for Life Program, the Navy’s Safe Harbor Program and the Air Force Palace HART Program.

These programs, and the Defense Department’s Military Severely Injured Center, can help with issues such as financial assistance; employment and training; nonmedical personal, couples and family counseling; child care; government assistance; transportation; and personal or equipment needs.
