At Mission Roll Call, we’re always listening to what veterans and their families need—and one message came through loud and clear: not all veterans and families have VA healthcare options.
In a recent MRC poll, 73% of veterans told us that access and quality of care are top priorities. That’s why we’re sharing a new resource: My RXAccess Plus, a program that can help close care gaps, especially for those who are not eligible for VA healthcare, or who need more support than the VA can provide.
So what exactly is it?
My Rx Access Plus is not insurance, and it doesn’t require any government enrollment or paperwork. For a flat monthly fee, veterans and their families can access:
It’s designed to work with or without existing VA care, giving veterans and their loved ones more flexibility and faster access to support.
“Veterans told us loud and clear—they want more choices in how they access care,” says Jim Whaley, CEO of Mission Roll Call. “Supporting programs like My Rx Access Plus is one way we’re helping ensure veterans and their families can access affordable care and prescription support—no matter where they live or what challenges they face.”
Whether you’re looking for an alternative to the VA or a complement to the care you already receive, My Rx Access Plus is worth exploring.
“Our veterans and their families have earned more than gratitude—they deserve real, accessible healthcare solutions,” said Keith Miller, CRO at My Rx Access Plus. “At My Rx Access Plus, we stand with Mission Roll Call to ensure those who served are never left behind, by delivering affordable medications, mental wellness support, and telemedicine services that honor their sacrifice with action.”
Why is Mission Roll Call sharing this program?
Because not every veteran qualifies for VA healthcare—and even those who do may need faster, more flexible, or family-friendly options. My Rx Access Plus helps fill those gaps. Even if you already use VA services, this program may offer additional benefits that help close gaps in care, provide faster access to specialists, or support loved ones who aren’t covered.
Mission Roll Call receives no financial benefit from promoting this resource. We simply want to ensure veterans and their families have access to care that fits their needs.

Freedom and Independence: Basic Veteran Needs
More than 750,000 people in the United States, including veterans, live with spinal cord injury or disease (SCI/D). The Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA) is a key organization dedicated to supporting these veterans. PVA ensures that every veteran living with a spinal cord injury or disease can reclaim what they fought for: their freedom and independence.
At Mission Roll Call, we believe that amplifying veteran voices includes connecting them to valuable resources, especially organizations like PVA that help fill the gaps and restore the freedom so many fought to protect.
PVA supports research, educational programs, and other initiatives that unite people and activities toward a single mission: improved quality of life for everyone with SCI/D. PVA is the only nonprofit Veteran Service Organization dedicated solely to helping veterans with spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D), and diseases, like MS and ALS.
Founded on Experience
PVA was founded by a group of service members who returned home from World War II in 1946 with spinal cord injuries and few to no solutions to the major challenges they faced. Unable to comfortably live in their homes or get around by public transportation, they found barriers to independence everywhere.
On a mission to improve accessibility for themselves, their fellow paralyzed veterans, and all people with disabilities, these veterans joined together to form PVA. Today, more than 75 years later, PVA remains a major support system for our nation’s paralyzed and disabled heroes. These wounded heroes made a decision not just to live, but to live with dignity as contributors to society.
PVA and Mission Roll Call have similar goals in that we both amplify veteran voices through research, resources, and fight for actual change.
PVA’s Impact by the Numbers:
Veterans are Counting on Us
More than 12,000 people in the US, including veterans, sustain a spinal cord injury each year. This often leads to a loss of motor and/or sensory function. While PVA plays a vital role in advocating for and assisting these veterans, there are ways we can all help.
To give veterans independence, you can support organizations like Paralyzed Veterans of America, volunteer with specific advocacy groups, or offer direct assistance by helping with transportation to appointments or providing emotional support. At Mission Roll Call, we amplify the voices of veterans and their families and connect them with the resources they need to thrive. Every action matters. With your support, paralyzed and disabled veterans can access the programs and services that make a life of dignity and independence possible. With one action, you can help paralyzed and disabled veterans move forward in life by supporting programs and services they rely on to live a life of dignity and independence.
When it comes to healing from the invisible wounds of war, many veterans find themselves searching for relief beyond traditional treatments. One increasingly talked-about option is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)—a treatment that’s been around for decades but is now gaining attention for its potential to help veterans, especially those dealing with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) and post-traumatic stress (PTS).
But what exactly is HBOT? How does it work? And why are more people, including members of Congress, urging the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to embrace it? Let’s break it down.
What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. The pressure is typically about 1.5 to 3 times higher than normal atmospheric pressure. This environment allows your lungs to take in significantly more oxygen than they would at sea level.
Why does that matter? Because oxygen is essential for healing. In a hyperbaric chamber, the oxygen you breathe dissolves into your blood plasma and spreads more effectively throughout your body, even to areas with poor circulation or tissue damage. This super-oxygenation helps fight infection, reduce inflammation, promote the growth of new blood vessels, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes.
HBOT is FDA-approved for several conditions, including carbon monoxide poisoning, diabetic foot ulcers, and decompression sickness (aka “the bends” in divers). But it’s the emerging applications—like treating brain injuries—that are drawing attention from the veteran community.
How Can HBOT Help Veterans?
Veterans returning from military service often face a unique set of health challenges. Chief among these are TBIs and PTS—both of which can have long-term effects on mental clarity, memory, sleep, and emotional well-being.
Several studies and anecdotal reports suggest that HBOT may offer relief. The theory is that by flooding the brain with oxygen, HBOT can reduce inflammation and promote the repair of damaged brain tissue. For veterans who’ve suffered from blast injuries or repeated concussions, this could be a game-changer.
In some cases, veterans undergoing HBOT have reported improvements in:
– Cognitive function and memory
– Mood and emotional regulation
– Sleep quality
– Headache frequency and severity
– Anxiety and depression levels
While HBOT is not a cure-all, it appears to offer promising results when used alongside other therapies. For many veterans, especially those who’ve tried traditional medications or counseling without success, HBOT can feel like a long-overdue breath of hope.
Which Veterans Are Most Likely to Use or Need It?
HBOT is most commonly considered for veterans who:
– Have suffered a TBI from explosions, falls, or combat incidents.
– Are diagnosed with PTS, particularly when accompanied by symptoms like brain fog or chronic fatigue.
– Experience chronic pain, such as from wounds that have healed poorly or nerve damage.
– Struggle with treatment-resistant conditions, where conventional treatments haven’t provided relief.
In particular, veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars—where improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were a constant threat—are among the most likely candidates. However, HBOT may also benefit older veterans with lingering effects from service-connected injuries.
Who’s Funding the Research?
Research into HBOT for brain injuries and PTS has been a mix of private and public funding, though much of the recent momentum has come from private organizations and state-level pilot programs.
Nonprofits like HBOT4Heroes, The TreatNOW Coalition, and The Healing Arizona Veterans Foundation have stepped up to sponsor HBOT treatments and conduct studies outside of the traditional VA system. Meanwhile, some state governments—like those in Oklahoma, Texas, and Florida—have launched their own HBOT pilot programs for veterans.
On the public side, there has been limited but growing federal interest. Agencies like the Department of Defense (DoD) have funded some HBOT studies, but the VA has been slower to act, citing a need for more conclusive scientific evidence.
That said, many in the medical and veteran communities argue that the real-world results speak for themselves—and that further inaction may be costing lives.
What’s Happening in Congress?
The push to make HBOT more accessible to veterans isn’t just coming from doctors and advocacy groups—it’s also gaining traction in Washington.
Over the past few years, several bills and resolutions have been introduced in Congress urging the VA to recognize and adopt HBOT as a treatment option. These efforts are typically bipartisan, reflecting widespread concern for veterans’ mental health across the political spectrum.
Some of these legislative efforts have aimed to:
– Authorize funding for HBOT pilot programs within the VA.
– Allow veterans to seek HBOT treatment from approved private providers and have it covered by the VA.
– Mandate further research into HBOT’s effectiveness for TBI and PTS.
Though progress has been slow, the increasing pressure from veterans’ groups and state-level successes is pushing the issue forward. Advocates argue that if the VA won’t offer HBOT, it should at least allow veterans to access it through the Veterans Community Care Program, which enables treatment from non-VA providers.
The Bottom Line
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy isn’t new, but its application for veterans with TBI and PTS is. As more veterans share stories of healing and as research continues to show promise, the momentum behind HBOT is growing.
While it’s not yet widely adopted within the VA, there’s hope on the horizon. From state-funded pilot programs to bipartisan efforts in Congress, the push to give veterans access to this therapy is gaining steam.
For many veterans, especially those who feel like they’ve tried everything else, HBOT could offer not just treatment, but renewed hope for recovery.
If you or someone you know is a veteran struggling with TBI, PTS, or chronic pain, it may be worth exploring whether HBOT is available in your state and keeping an eye on future developments from the VA and Congress.
Because sometimes, the path to healing really is just a matter of taking a deep breath.
In this special two-part episode of The Lasting Mission podcast, Mission Roll Call CEO Jim Whaley sits down with longtime friend and fellow veteran Walt Piatt, retired Lieutenant General and the new CEO of the Wounded Warrior Project.
Their conversation covers a lot of ground—from their early days in Panama to leading two major veteran organizations—but the message is clear: we need to do more to support the men and women who served.
Part One: Finding Purpose After Service
In Part One, Walt shares his journey from enlisted infantryman to Army general, and now to CEO of the Wounded Warrior Project. He talks about the challenges many veterans face after leaving the military—losing their sense of identity, struggling to reconnect, and carrying the invisible wounds of war.
Wounded Warrior Project helps veterans find their way back through mental health support, programs like Project Odyssey, and simply reminding them they’re not alone.
“Healing begins with movement,” Walt says. “And we walk with veterans every step of the way.”
Watch Part One:
Part Two: Advocacy, Transition & Family Support
Part Two focuses on what’s next for the Wounded Warrior Project and for the veterans and families they serve.
Walt explains how WWP is working to improve access to care, support veteran families, and make sure lawmakers hear directly from warriors themselves. He also opens up about how writing poetry helped him process his experiences, and how important it is for all veterans to find their outlet for healing.
“You can’t just leave the military and expect everything to fall into place,” Walt says. “We have to meet veterans where they are—and keep showing up.”

As we mark 249 years of freedom, Mission Roll Call reflects on the veterans, families, and communities who continue the fight for independence every day.
As the nation gathers for barbecues, fireworks, and patriotic celebrations, July 4 marks a checkpoint on a journey nearly two and a half centuries long. This year, we celebrate 249 years of American independence, just one year shy of the nation’s 250th anniversary. But freedom, as every veteran knows, isn’t just something we inherited—it’s something we continue to fight for, defend, and rebuild.
At Mission Roll Call, we see independence not only as a founding principle, but as a shared responsibility—one carried most directly by our veterans and military families.
From the Minutemen of 1776 to the service members of today, American freedom has always depended on ordinary people rising to meet extraordinary moments. But service doesn’t end with enlistment. It doesn’t even end with a homecoming.
For many veterans, the real battle begins after the uniform comes off—fighting for physical healing, mental well-being, stable housing, meaningful work, and a sense of purpose that comes from being part of something bigger.
That’s why we say: independence is a team effort.
It’s the veteran learning to navigate a new career after service.
It’s the caregiver who helps a loved one manage post-traumatic stress.
It’s the community that installs a ramp, offers a job, or shows up to listen.
It’s the network of support—both seen and unseen—that helps veterans reclaim their own freedom after fighting for ours.
These efforts are especially important as we look ahead to America’s 250th year. Milestones like this invite us to reflect not only on how far we’ve come, but on where we’re going, and who we may be leaving behind.
Today, more than 18 million veterans live in the United States, and nearly half are not connected to the VA or any veteran service organization. Many are navigating complex challenges alone. Rural veterans face geographic isolation and gaps in care. Others struggle with the invisible wounds of war. And too many are still fighting to be seen and heard, long after their last deployment.
At Mission Roll Call, we’re working to change that. Through nationwide polling, community outreach, veteran storytelling, and policy advocacy, we bring veteran voices directly to the people and places where change can happen. And that starts with you.
This Independence Day, let’s do more than celebrate freedom. Let’s honor it by supporting those who make it possible. Lend your voice through our open polls and surveys so we can continue to enact positive change and support those who need it most.
The fight for freedom didn’t end in 1776. It continues every day—across dinner tables, hospital rooms, town halls, and Capitol Hill. And together, we can carry it forward.
In June, we turned our focus to two groups who too often go unseen—underserved veterans in rural and minority communities, and those living with the effects of post-traumatic stress. Through storytelling, research, media outreach, and open polling, we continued our mission to elevate the voices of veterans, advocate for policy that meets their needs, and provide tools that support their well-being.
From local heroes rebuilding after disaster to national conversations about suicide prevention and access to care, we worked to ensure that no one who served is left behind.

Stay tuned for new stories, new research, and new opportunities to connect.
If there is something we have learned about supporting our veterans, it is that mental health is one of the most complicated problems to tackle, especially for veterans in rural areas. VA reports have found that veterans are most vulnerable in the first three months following separation from military service, although suicide risk “remains elevated for years after the transition.” With this information, we can better support our veterans and their families to get them the assistance they need.
While veterans can access mental health care through a variety of channels, knowing what is available to them and gaining access are common hurdles for not just rural veterans but all veterans. Listed below are resources available to veterans looking for mental healthcare.
The two main mental health resources are the VA and the Veteran Crisis Line.
VA Mental Health Services
Veterans Crisis Line (988, then press 1)
But if those are unavailable to you due to location or other reasons, here’s a list of other mental health resources you might not know about.
Boulder Crest is the home of Posttraumatic Growth (PTG). They offer life-changing programs free of charge to members of the military, veterans, and first responder communities, and their families.
America’s Warrior Partnership
America’s Warrior Partnership’s mission is to partner with communities to prevent veteran suicide. Their programs accomplish this by starting at the community level and understanding the unique situations of veterans and their families.
Avalon Action Alliance connects our nation’s veterans and first responders with life-changing programs. Their Alliance Partners offer a wide range of treatments, training and support tailored to the unique needs of our veterans and first responders.

When it comes to the mental health of veterans and their families, we know there’s not one solution that fits all. But what we do know is that we need to be more proactive. Help exists for veterans and their families; they just need to know what is available to them. Share this article with a veteran – they might need it or know someone else who does.
Supporting a veteran’s mental health requires active listening, encouragement, and resourcefulness. It involves creating a safe space for them to share their feelings, finding local support groups or mental health professionals, and being patient and understanding. Small, everyday gestures like offering a helping hand with tasks, expressing empathy, and attending local veterans’ events can also make a significant difference.
Here are 7 everyday ways to support veterans’ mental health:
1. Be present and consistent. Let them know you care and are there for them, even if you don’t fully understand what they’re going through. Offer encouraging words and focus on their strengths and resilience.
2. Encourage without pushing. Acknowledge that recovery takes time, and don’t pressure them to “get better” quickly. Be patient and understanding as they navigate their journey. Allow the veteran to decide when and how they want to share their feelings. Offer space for them to share if they wish, but don’t pressure them.
3. Help navigate resources. Help them find resources like local support groups, mental health professionals, or the VA’s mental health services. Mission Roll Call and the Veterans Crisis Line can also provide valuable resources, information, and assistance. Knowing that there is a path to recovery with tailored resources is its own kind of reassurance.
4. Share space without judgment. Be a supportive listener, offering a non-judgmental space for the veteran to share their experiences and feelings. Give them your full attention and avoid offering unsolicited advice.
5. Offer practical help. Support them with everyday tasks like grocery shopping, meal planning, or errands if they are struggling to manage their routine.
6. Stay connected regularly. Staying connected with veterans in your life can provide a sense of purpose and community. If your veteran is hard to get a hold of, consider social media platforms or other online routes to keep the conversation going at their preferred speed. Also, small actions like attending veteran-specific events with them can go a long way to make them feel connected with you and other veterans.
7. Self-Care for you. Supporting someone with mental health challenges can be emotionally taxing. It’s important to prioritize your own well-being and seek support for yourself if needed. You cannot pour from an empty cup, and it is important for those who support our veterans to give them our best – to do this, you must take care of yourself.
By employing these strategies, both veterans and those who care about them can foster stronger connections and build supportive communities, ultimately leading to greater well-being and a sense of belonging. Supporting veterans is crucial. By providing support, we acknowledge their service, help them navigate the challenges they face, and ensure they can lead fulfilling lives.

Despite their service, rural veterans often face unique barriers to accessing the care and support they need after leaving the military. The first step toward supporting rural veterans is educating ourselves on the challenges they face.
Here are 6 Things You Might Not Know About Rural Veterans:
1. Rural veterans lack access to necessary healthcare
While there are 4.7 million veterans who live in rural areas, they each face their own unique barriers to accessing healthcare. Many rural veterans struggle to access necessary healthcare due to factors like geographic distance to VA facilities, transportation challenges, and limited internet access that hinders telehealth services.
2. Rural veterans face a higher risk of mental health challenges
Rural veterans are less likely to receive the mental health care they need compared to urban veterans. While mental health is a significant concern for all veterans and their families, due to their living environment, rural veterans are at a higher risk of mental health challenges like post-traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety.
3. Rural veterans are more likely to face economic disparities
Compared to their urban counterparts, rural veterans are more likely to have lower household incomes and experience higher rates of poverty, with more than half earning an annual income of less than $35,000. This can further compound their challenges in accessing essential resources like healthcare.
4. Rural veterans are in a position to have their well-being impacted by social isolation
The isolated nature of rural communities can lead to social isolation, impacting their mental health and overall well-being. Veterans die by suicide at 1.5 times the rate of their non‐veteran counterparts, with rural veterans at a 20%–22% greater risk of dying by suicide than urban veterans. Peer support and community engagement programs can help combat this, which leads us to our final point.
5. Rural veterans rely heavily on resources
The VA is a crucial resource to rural veterans, but they also rely heavily on community providers, veteran service organizations, and programs to meet their needs.
Mission Roll Call has identified and vetted many nonprofit organizations that work with these communities. For example, the Alaska Warrior Partnership™ (AKWP) is committed to improving veterans’ quality of life in the state of Alaska through the coordination of local services and opportunities. And Boulder Crest Foundation provides a free, first-class rural wellness retreat dedicated to helping America’s military members, veterans, and their families. For more resources and support, visit Mission Roll Call’s comprehensive Veteran Resource Directory.
6. Rural veterans are resilient, resourceful, and deeply connected to their communities
This isn’t just a list of challenges—rural veterans bring incredible strengths that deserve recognition. They embody grit, self-reliance, and a strong sense of duty, often serving as the backbone of their communities long after their time in uniform. With deep family roots and a commitment to service, they step up as mentors, leaders, and quiet helpers in times of need. These qualities not only make them vital to the fabric of rural America, but they also make them powerful voices in shaping the future of the broader veteran community.
Conclusion
Rural veterans make up an essential part of the American veteran population—yet too often, their stories are overlooked, and their needs go unmet. From barriers to healthcare and mental health services to economic hardship and geographic isolation, the challenges are real. But so is their strength.
As individuals, we can show support to rural veterans by educating ourselves on their unique needs and challenging harmful stereotypes or stigmas. We can also point veterans and their families to useful benefits, service organizations, social groups, and other resources.
