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 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. <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fwww.mirecc.va.gov%2Fvisn20%2FAbout_NWMIRECC%2Fcontact-us.asp/2/010001951a767dfe-d3c2c895-3e80-4727-aa4e-c05c2a0815e9-000000/RfOdHKp6IXqHPWlX_VacZRDh- 6tPH-V1wvbvy6CeCFY=392> 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%2Fg cc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%2F%3Furl=https%253A%252F%252Flinks-1.govdelivery.com%252FCL0%252Fhttps%253A%25252F%25252Fwww.mirecc.va.gov%25252Fvisn20%25252Fresearch%25252Fptsd-tbi-research.as p%252F1%252F01000194b0cb14ca-ac446921-8aa6-4ef1-b529-d0324b9dc2cb-000000%252F61ZqhBU8mNfLUahonm_JkBBUKvC65z7PGuBwsvNcMd8%253D390%26data=05%257C02%257C%257C8f0c3bb6a4bc45de764f08dd402ff634%257Ce95f1b2 3abaf45ee821db7ab251ab3bf%257C0%257C0%257C638737296918060739%257CUnknown%257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%253D%253D%257C0%257C%25 7C%257C%26sdata=L6VHetJD9QCgTyX4RdNWo27PpxnDG7mRtmHCtfHSK6A%253D%26reserved=0/1/010001951a767dfe-d3c2c895-3e80-4727-aa4e-c05c2a0815e9-000000/If5zysxtVQrwe7U0MnmfsYKsUZCR-ooB-h10aXdFIvM=392> . 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.
