VA Eastern Kansas Health Care System

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has always been at the forefront of health care research, including biomedical, clinical, and health services research. Because of the efforts of VHA researchers, advances in the areas of traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, prosthetic limbs, and military sexual trauma are made possible. Our experience in caring for Veterans from earlier conflicts have taught us a great deal about how war affects the health and lives of combat Veterans. We have improved our approaches for treating the full spectrum of post-combat health concerns and we have the opportunity to prevent and/or limit the long-term health impacts of combat on Veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. As the Department of Veterans Affairs and as a nation, we are positioned to provide the most effective post-combat care ever offered to individuals returning home from war.
