Service Network (VISN) 20 serves Alaska, Washington, Oregon, most of Idaho, and one county each in Montana and California. Operating across three time zones over 817,417 square miles,
VISN 20 is home to 273 federally recognized American Indian and Alaskan Native tribes. Spanning 23% of US land mass, VISN 20 is the largest geographic region of VA. NW MIRECC brings
together complementary research, education, and clinical programs from VA Puget Sound (VAPSHCS) and the VA Portland Health Care System (VAPORHCS). The collaborative approach to mental
health research, education and treatment has had a profound impact on the lives of Veterans.

to improve the quality of life and function of Veterans by developing, evaluating, and promoting the implementation of effective treatments for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
and its complex comorbidities. PTSD comorbidities include the behavioral consequences of repetitive blast mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI), Substance Use Disorder (SUD), chronic pain
(in particular, post-concussive headaches), cognitive impairment, and increased risk for neurodegenerative disorders (chronic traumatic encephalopathy [CTE] and Alzheimer’s disease
[AD]). VA MIRECC's provide for the improvement of the provision of health-care services and related counseling services to eligible veterans suffering from mental illness (especially
mental illness related to service-related conditions) through—
* the conduct of research (including research on improving mental health service facilities of the Department and on improving the delivery of mental health services by the Department);
* the education and training of health care personnel of the Department; and
* the development of improved models and systems for the furnishing of mental health services by the Department.
<https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USVHAVISN20/2025/02/11017678/woundedwarrior-mtrainier_original.png>
As part of the VISN 20 NW MIRECC mission to enhance access to mental health expertise, the NW MIRECC collaborates and consults with other MIRECCs and Centers of Excellence, as well as
with other VA, Department of Defense (DoD), Federal, State departments of Veterans Affairs, community agencies, and experts. The close geographic proximity (40 miles) of DoD Joint Base
Lewis-McChord/Madigan Army Medical Center to VAPSHCS has provided an exciting opportunity to develop innovative and productive research, education, and clinical care collaborations
with DoD personnel that address PTSD and its associated conditions in their early stages in active-duty Servicemembers.
VA ranks as one of the nation's leaders in health research. Every year, thousands of research studies are conducted at VA medical centers, outpatient clinics, and nursing homes. For
example, the VA has:.
* Developed artificial limbs that allow amputees to have more independence and better quality of life
* Invented the cardiac pacemaker
* Performed the first successful liver transplantation
* Developed the nicotine patch to help people stop smoking
* Played a major role in the development of the CT/CAT scan to view the inside of the body
* Tested new drugs and treatments for diseases such as AIDS, Diabetes, Alzheimer's and Osteoporosis
