2017 Veteran Humanitarian Health Sponsorship Program
2017 Veteran Humanitarian Health Sponsorship Program
Veterans healthcare is in crisis around the country. Veterans must contend with ever-tightening resources in their struggle to maintain health and combat illness. Alternative treatments to veteran health care issues need to be explored. Effective healthcare demands wise leadership; leaders who understand the root causes of ill health, recognize effective interventions, and possess the diplomatic skills necessary to implement progress. The practitioners at Integrative Family Wellness Center provide effective healthcare and are considered experts in the field of integrative medicine. As we have been serving patients for many years, we want to give back to those who made that possible by ensuring our freedom. IFWC wants to increase access to integrative medical healthcare for veterans facing economic challenges, so we are launching our 2017 Veteran Humanitarian Health Scholarship Program. This program provides financial assistance for services provided at IFWC to scholarship recipients.
Ideal candidates for the scholarship program will be veterans with service connected disabilities. They should be individuals committed to their health; who want to get better.
