Warrior & Family Support Center
The Warrior and Family Support Center (W&FSC) was founded in 2003 after Brooks Army Medical Center (BAMC) physicians noticed a need for family members to be intimately involved in the rehabilitation of their sons, daughters, or spouses (Wounded Warriors). Due to the seriousness of injuries, time at BAMC for Wounded Warriors can exceed 12 months, thus a vital part of their recovery is to have a “safe” environment away from the hospital. The Warrior and Family Support Center provides a comfortable, welcoming, and friendly environment for Wounded Warriors and their Families to relax, have fun, participate in activities, and find support as they transition to their new normal. The W&FSC is supported by the donations of businesses, organizations, and the community. Learn more at http://www.returningheroeshome.org/.
