New Program for Wounded and Families

Week of November 26, 2007

The Department of Defense (DoD) and Veterans Affairs (VA) recently signed an agreement to provide federal "recovery coordinators" who will ensure life-long medical and rehabilitative care services and other federal benefits are provided to seriously wounded, injured and ill active-duty servicemembers, veterans and their families. The first 10 federal recovery coordinators are scheduled to be hired by Dec. 1, 2007 and plans call for the new employees to be trained and in place at the military's major health care facilities during January 2008.
