 VA Stars and Stripes Network
Mission:
We seek to enhance the overall mental health and substance abuse care of veterans in the VISN and throughout the nation. We will accomplish this through the integration of basic, clinical, and services research and educational and clinical programs. The Stars and Stripes Healthcare Network MIRECC focuses specifically on comorbid general medical, mental health, and/or substance use disorders.
Objectives:
· Develop new empirical knowledge that can be directly applied to improve the clinical care of veterans
· Provide education to providers and trainees to enhance the delivery of high quality healthcare to veterans
· Impact public health in terms of veterans' mental health and quality of life
· Serve as a national resource in education, research, and treatment of patients with comorbidity, and as a replicable model of excellence in clinical and educational programs
