Veteran Investment Program

Reintegration to civilian life can be challenging for veterans, especially if they are experiencing debilitating symptoms of brain injuries and post-traumatic stress.

HOW’s Veteran Investment Program (VIP) provides veterans a proactive, safe, and healthy way to support their brain’s natural healing processes. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy stimulates dormant brain tissue that has been damaged by invisible wounds of war (i.e., traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress). By bolstering the brain’s organic recovery process, hyperbaric oxygen therapy allows veterans to reclaim their wellness and optimize their brain health.
