FAIRBANKS, Alaska (KTVF/KTUU) - As Alaska grapples with extended periods of frigid temperatures reaching 35 degrees below zero, the Fairbanks Rescue Mission is seeing a predictable uptick
in residents seeking warmth <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.webcenterfairbanks.com%2F2025%2F12%2F26%2Ffairbanks-shelter-keeps-high-barrier-standards-amid-alaska-cold-snap%2F/3/0

While the mission allows intoxicated individuals to sober up in the foyer for several hours, those who cannot pass a breathalyzer or urinalysis must eventually seek alternative accommodations
at local warming centers or organizations like Northern Hope.
The mission provides a comprehensive suite of services beyond emergency housing, including case management and job certification programs that have helped permanently house nearly 800
people over the past five years.
Through its partnership with the Veterans Administration’s Supportive Services for Veteran Families program <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.va.gov%2Fhomeless%2Fssvf%2Findex.html/

path to housing for veterans and long-term care for mentally ill residents who can still manage their basic needs.

housing situation for the individual and his or her family; or to rapidly re-house Veterans and their families who are homeless and might remain homeless without this assistance.
Coldest City in America
We here at the Fairbanks Rescue Mission have a more than average concern for the temporary homeless or unsheltered <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.fairbanksrescuemission.org%2Fco
ldest-city/1/0100019b6b925b1d-1375ff22-b86e-4daf-9d8c-6c3eaeb83c09-000000/qeY_zLcCSgquH-iv8ze_wWY5mcY8UDLWkgTRpyXy4vw=437> . A fear of severe frostbite or even loss of limbs due to cold
is something we see every winter. In a 2018 article in Statistica by Niall McCarthy, Fairbanks was listed as the “Coldest City in America”. So far in my research this still stands.
For those of us who were born and raised in this environment, this statistic seems shocking, but in second thought, not so surprising. Many of us have memories of the “cold that bites”,
and also memories of loved ones or friends who might have perished or lost limbs because of it. If you are a Veteran who is homeless or at imminent risk of becoming homeless, call the
National Call Center for Homeless Veterans at (877) 4AID-VET (877-424-3838) for assistance.

* Connecting homeless and at-risk Veterans with housing solutions, health care, community employment services and other required supports.
* Collaborating with federal, state and local agencies; employers; housing providers, faith-based and community nonprofits; and others to expand employment and affordable housing options
for Veterans exiting homelessness.

VA's NW MIRECC serves to improve the mental health and well-being of Veterans through research and dissemination of information to providers both within VA and the general public. VHA
continually evolves and cultivates ongoing cutting-edge medical research and innovation <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.mirecc.va.gov%2Fvisn20%2FAbout_NWMIRECC%2Fnwmirecc-histor

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—
<https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/fancy_images/USVHAVISN20/2025/02/11017678/woundedwarrior-mtrainier_original.png>
* 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.
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
NW MIRECC research studies significantly contribute to advancements in our understanding of medical problems that lead to health improvements for Veterans and civilians alike. Research
studies at NW MIRECC are currently enrolling Military Veterans, First Responders, Health Care workers, and Civilians in Seattle, Washington <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fgcc02.saf
