Healing Arizona Veterans is Making Strides
Healing Arizona Veterans (HAV) has made strides in the past six years. It needs your donations to continue this positive trend. HAV was designated a 501(c)(3) charity in 2017. Since then, the charity has raised over $1.5 million
Who We Are
Healing Arizona Veterans (HAV) uses donations to sponsor the treatment of military veterans suffering from wartime TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). The treatment utilizes Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and adjunctive therapies at private facilities.
These veterans’ evaluations and treatments are covered by HAV, a grassroots all-volunteer 501C3 organization.
HAV receives donations to cover the costs of this critical and life-changing treatment at a time in the lives of these veterans when they can least afford it. They will be treated at private facilities throughout Arizona. Read more about HAV’s mission and strategy.
What We Have Achieved
The State of Arizona endorsed HBOT for Veterans suffering from TBI and PTSD in March 2018 through HB2513. Since then, HAV has raised private funds for treatment from many generous donors. HAV is an all-volunteer organization – as such 96% of donated funds are utilized for treatment.
The donated funds are being utilized to treat veterans. Many veterans treated have had life-changing experiences. View and listen to moving testimonials by veterans.
What We Want
We want donors to make this very worthy cause a reality and ensure that we always have funds to treat the increasing demand for this treatment. We are now receiving an average of one inquiry per week.
Volunteers
We are recruiting volunteers to help us with various efforts including fundraising and events.
