aIQqHLArOwXYFl0yVc=392> , spanning 377 acres, was established in 1956 following World War II. Its mission is to offer essential rehabilitation and recreational opportunities for Veterans,
many of whom suffer from severe disabilities. In 1995, funding for the operation and maintenance of all VA golf courses was discontinued. Nevertheless, this course continued to operate
through a volunteer program. After falling into disrepair, the course faced potential abandonment. In 2014, Jack Nicklaus designed the new back nine holes and concurrently redesigned
the existing front nine holes. Notably, Jack Nicklaus is the first athlete and only the fourth individual ever to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Congressional Gold Medal,
and the Lincoln Medal. The renovated front nine reopened in 2022, making it an 18-hole Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course. The American Lake Veterans Golf Course <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0

Limb-loss or amputations, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and CVA with Residual. Common disabilities that do not qualify include: Anxiety, Chronic Pain, Degenerative Joint Disease,

Health & Science University (OHSU) are academic affiliates of NW MIRECC. The mission of NW MIRECC is 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.
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.

. NW MIRECC research studies significantly contribute to advancements in our understanding of medical problems that lead to health improvements for Veterans and civilians alike. NW
MIRECC studies are conducted through clinical research and through translational research wherein teams of clinicians and scientists work side-by-side to characterize and model key
features of clinical problems and then translate the findings from scientific theory or animal models into practical applications for Veterans. NW MIRECC brings together complementary
research, education, and clinical programs from VAPSHCS and VAPORHCS. The collaborative approach to mental health research, education and treatment has had a profound impact on the
lives of Veterans.
