Warriors Choice Foundation: Redefining Veteran Resources with Service Dogs and Holistic Care

Warriors Choice Foundation Mission

• 🎯 The Warriors Choice Foundation is a veteran and first responder-led organization dedicated to redefining the services available to those who have served.
• 💡 Their mission is to provide individuals with choice in their healing journey, offering them sovereignty over their recovery.

Holistic and Personalized Veteran Care

• 🧠 The foundation utilizes a human performance model to understand individual needs, focusing on accessible treatments not always covered by insurance.
• 🧬 They explore personalized care through methods like PGX (pharmacogenomics) to understand how medications affect the body based on DNA.
• 🔬 Other modalities include detoxification methods and stem cell therapy, integrating modern medicine to help individuals managing constant pain.

Bridging the Gap in Healing

• 🧩 The organization aims to shorten the gap between different treatment modalities and services, empowering veterans to sit with their families and discuss their next steps.
• 📈 This approach helps in identifying and focusing on the most impactful actions for progression in their healing status.

The Role of Service Dogs and Beyond

• 🐕 Bourbon, a service dog, is highlighted as a foundational element of the organization, having personally assisted the founder and initially being part of a program that matched 17 puppies with veterans.
• 🛠️ Dogs are viewed as one tool in the toolbox, with the foundation expanding its offerings beyond service animals to achieve higher levels of neurocognition and establish program standards.
