The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society has a Combat Casualty Assistance (CCA) Visiting Nurse Program which offers non-judgmental, face-to-face contact working specifically with combat Marines, Sailors, and their families. They assist our combat veterans with recovery from physical wounds, as well as the non-physical scars of combat – PTSD and TBI. The CCA VisitingNurses have been a critical part of the FOCUS program since March, 2012.

No one comes back from a war zone the same person they were before they deployed. As Marines or Sailors, you know and understand that, but your family, friends, and loved ones may not.

The visiting nurses make home visits to meet with veterans, and/or family members, to assist in their recovery – physical or emotional – from combat deployment. The CCA nurses also provide a vast array of resources to help you adjust to the changes in your lives because of combat service.

If you would like to have a CCA Visiting Nurse call or visit you or your family, contact Ruthi Moore at 703-696-0032 or ruthi.more@nmcrs.org.

You have served your country honorably; the CCA Visiting Nurses consider it an honor to serve you now.
