During PTSD Awareness Month, this article in the Fort Hood Sentinel highlights the longstanding collaboration between the STRONG STAR Consortium and the C.R. Darnall Army Medical Center (CRDAMC) at Fort Hood to advance the care and treatment of service members with PTSD and other psychological health issues.
“The STRONG STAR team’s aim is to improve the effectiveness, as well as applicability, of existing treatment methods for our warfighters, to ensure that they not only get better care now, but also reap benefits in the future as a direct result of these studies,” noted Col. Amit Gupta, CRDAMC and Fort Hood director of psychological health, about the integration of cutting-edge science into daily clinical practice at Fort Hood. “We are fortunate to have this collaboration with a top-notch team that clearly cares about taking care of our Soldiers and families.”
Fort Hood is currently hosting several ongoing or newly funded clinical treatment trials through STRONG STAR, many of which offer service members and veterans access to leading-edge assessments and therapies not currently available at other military facilities.
