OUR MISSION:
To fulfill President Lincoln's promise "To care for those who have served in our nation's military and for their families, caregivers, and survivors" - by serving and honoring the men and women who are America's Veterans.

How would you like to become a part of a team providing compassionate whole health care to Veterans?

We provide a range of mental health services such as:

* Outpatient care for Veterans with serious mental illness who have a lot of trouble functioning in daily life.

* Regular outpatient care, which may include care provided over the phone, for Veterans facing a difficult time in their lives.

* Rehabilitation treatment and residential (live-in) programs for Veterans with mental health problems and other needs (like those related to homelessness, job training, and education) who would be best helped by getting treatment or living in a structured setting for a period of time.

* Primary care for many common mental and behavioral problems.

* Supported work settings to help Veterans join the work force and live well in the community.
