HBOT4Heroes

Many of our nation’s heroes suffer from debilitating neurological damage while selflessly serving in our military. Hidden brain injuries often prompt many veterans to take their own lives to end the agony. Recognizing this critical issue, NC Senate bill 442 appropriated funds to provide Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for North Carolina veterans suffering from traumatic brain injuries and PTSD. The passing of this bill has demonstrated an astounding 95% efficacy rate from treating 40 veterans entering the program in 2021 and 2022 has been eye opening to many. Veterans and their families are now experiencing new beginnings after enduring immense suffering from as far back as the Vietnam War. However, the demand for HBOT far surpasses the current access, which has been limited to Extivita-RTP located in the NC triangle. It has become clear that the need to increase access to affordable, high-quality HBOT requires additional resources, leading to the formation of HBOT4Heroes (501C3).
