A ground breaking ceremony was held for the National Intrepid Center of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury (NICoE) at Bethesda, Md. Scheduled to open in late 2009, NICoE will be a $70-million, 75,000-square-foot treatment, rehabilitation and follow-up facility for servicemembers with TBI, post-traumatic stress disorder and other complex psychological issues. The facility will also function as a research, testing and education center. Funded by the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, the center will be given to the Department of Defense (DoD) upon completion. For more information, visit the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund website.
