Six months later, as it continues to build staff to reach full operational capability, the center is making a difference in the lives of servicemembers struggling to deal with the unseen, signature wounds of war with hopes they can continue their military service.
“Our vision is to be an instrument of hope, healing, discovery and learning,” said Navy Capt. Thomas Beeman, a reservist recalled to active duty to lend his civilian health care administration expertise to help stand up the facility. “We are living out that vision and trying to meet those needs.”
The $65 million center, a gift from the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, features the most advanced equipment and facilities available to diagnose and treat TBI and other psychological disorders. Among its offerings is $10 million in imaging equipment that enables health care providers and researchers the rare ability to see inside the brain to formulate diagnoses and treatment plans.
