Mission Statement
Improve the quality of life for individuals, families, and communities by advocating for and providing access to hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Description
Here at the Help Our Wounded Foundation, we believe every member of society should be able to proactively participate in their own brain health by having access to hyperbaric oxygen therapy. While this vision is broad, HOW has concentrated our efforts on helping the following populations gain access to this unique therapy to restore damaged brain tissue from post-traumatic stress or traumatic brain injuries for veterans and student athletes. Appreciating people can be their own advocates, we also provide educational resources for parents, medical professionals, trauma victims, and the general population to learn about their brain, how trauma affects the brain, and how hyperbaric oxygen therapy can support their recovery.
Since our inception in 2014, we have provided over 3700 hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) sessions, transforming the lives of over 170 people across the United States. Our annual operating budget has perpetually grown over the past several years, bolstered by the support of: Virginia Department of Veterans Services, Quantum Foundation, Palm Health Foundation, Impact 100 Palm Beach County, Charles and Elsie Gols Charitable Foundation, Frank L. Weyenberg Charitable Foundation, and the Great Charity Challenge.
