VA Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 20 serves 135 counties in Alaska, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington: encompassing Del Norte County California and Lincoln County Montana. Operating
across three time zones over 817,417 square miles, VISN 20 is home to 273 federally recognized American Indian and Alaskan Native tribes, 229 of which are located in Alaska. Spanning
23% of US land mass, VISN 20 is the largest geographic region of VA.
VA Puget Sound (VAPSHCS) and the VA Portland Health Care System (VAPORHCS) were commissioned by Congress and the VA as one of the first three Mental Illness Research, Education, and
Clinical Centers (MIRECCs) in the United States <https://links-1.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fgcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%2F%3Furl=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.mirecc.va.gov%252Fvisn20%252F

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

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. University
of Washington (UW) and Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) are academic affiliates of NW MIRECC.
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.

. 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.
