Benefit to Our Community
7pm Presentation, Community Hospital, Basement
Dr. Dave Hildebrand, Director of Veterans Center of Grand Junction
Join us as we learn of the difficulties our Veterans experience upon returning home to
the Grand Valley and the support and resources offered to them through The Vet Center.
Dr. Hildebrand will also provide an overview of Post-Traumatic Stress ndrome and
Traumatic Brain Injury.
Dr. Hildebrand is the Director of the Vet Center of Grand Junction. The Vet Center
Program was established by Congress in 1979 out of the ecognition that a significant
number of Vietnam era vets were still experiencing readjustment problems. Vet
Centers are community based and part of the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs. Additionally, family members of all veterans are eligible for Vet Center
services as well. Nationwide there are 350 Centers, the Grand Junction office was
established in 2008.

Women Voters and to its activities in support of those principles. The League
