USSVI Veterans News -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posting Date: 05 July 2006 From: John Dudas VA Opens 25 New Clinics -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Secretary of Veterans Affairs has announced plans to open 25 new community-based clinics in 17 states and American Somoa.

The new clinics will be located in Alabama, American Samoa, Arizona, California, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin. Local VA officials will keep communities and their veterans informed of milestones in the creation of the new CBOCs.

Latest feedback on an important issue:
USSVI Veterans News -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posting Date: 31 May 2006 From: John Dudas New Treatment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post-traumatic stress disorder, like any other psychological trauma, is difficult to diagnose, and often, even more difficult to treat. But a team of psychotherapists at the North Chicago VA Medical Center's PTSD Treatment Clinic is finding that a somewhat physical procedure may indeed offer some success. Physically, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is as simple as a therapist waving a hand in front of a patient's face, but it is what happens at the psychological level that is much more complicated and controversial. EMDR is currently endorsed under the VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder as a treatment of "significant benefit."
