More than 1.8 million Americans have served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and many are returning home wounded. An estimated 300,000 men and women have post-traumatic stress disorder, 360,000 suffer from traumatic brain injury, and over 30,000 have physical injuries.

While the government is working to improve case management for wounded service members at the federal level, coordination across government agencies and between the public and private sectors requires more attention.

The Campaign for Healthy Homecoming is working to smooth the transition of health services from military to the VA, improve the quality of care in rural communities, streamline claims processes, and increase veteran access to mental healthcare.
