A Non-Profit Case Management Model: Impact on Severely Wounded, Ill, and Injured Service Members and Veteran Well-Being
News
Long-term care for our nation’s severely wounded, ill, and injured service members and veterans (SM/Vs) and their families presents formidable challenges. Besides physical trauma, conditions like traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder require sustained, lifelong support. While federal systems provide acute and rehabilitative care, gaps may emerge in managing the chronic and social complexities of recovery. Semper Fi & America’s Fund (The Fund), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, developed a unique model of lifelong case management and
supportive services that provides a continuous, personal relationship to severely injured SM/V. Evidence of The Fund’s positive impact on SM/V well-being has so far been anecdotal; this study sought to examine it objectively.
