The Toll Of War

A San Francisco VA doctor working in the liver clinic and treating patients with hepatitis C began to notice (when she first started working there) that most of the patients in the waiting room were from the Vietnam era, in their 60’s and older.

Over a matter of months the faces began to get younger—the waiting room was starting to fill with young men in their late teens and 20’s. They were emotionally and physically scarred by a new war in Iraq.

With no programs at the VA that offered the type of integrated care they needed the doctor came up with the idea of a specialized clinic—thus OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM/OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM INTEGRATED CARE CLINIC was born. Join us as we talk to a founding member of the clinic.
