Warrior Care Month

Wounded Care Month

Warrior Care Month
  • Objective Warrior Care Month will be a
    month-long DoD-wide coordinated tactical effort
    to educate the military and to increase awareness
    of DoDs Warrior Care programs and resources.
  • Focus Programs, initiatives, and support that
    DoD promises our military through the phases of
    recovery, rehabilitation, and reintegration that
    are integral to the livelihood of our wounded,
    ill and injured service members, and their
    families.

15
Audience
  • Primary "Raising Awareness The first priority
    of Warrior Care Month is to reach out and inform
    our military, military families, and veterans
    about the many programs and resources within DoD
    and the Department of Veterans Affairs (as
    appropriate) that are available through the
    Services as well as at the DoD/VA level.
  • Secondary To increase awareness of Warrior Care
    issues and programs external to DOD

16
Overview
  • DoD-wide Steering Committee to execute Warrior
    Care Month
  • All events, reports, and press generated through
    Warrior Care Month will be highlighted on a
    dedicated DoD website www.warriorcare.mil
  • Three phases of the continuum of care
  • Recovery (acute care),
  • Rehabilitation (long-term care),
  • Reintegration (community involvement in the care
    of Wounded Warriors).
  • Each of the different tactics of Warrior Care
    Month will highlight Marine Corps DoD programs
    and the on-going initiatives to improve care,
    enabling DoD to convey the highly complex system
    and the three phases of care in one succinct
    message.

17
Program Elements
  • Recovery To highlight the how we are reacting
    to and developing new methods to save lives on
    the battlefield, as well as provide substantive
    care from point of injury to increase recovery
    rates.
  • Rehabilitation To demonstrate the different
    methods used to provide care for different types
    of injuries, the different resources available,
    and how DOD is looking to exceed expectations
    and streamline processes.
  • Reintegration To highlight how Marine Corps is
    setting the example in Warrior Care transition.
