Cohen Veterans Network Celebrates Mililani Clinic's Anniversary
Cohen Veterans Network (CVN), a prominent not-for-profit organization dedicated to mental health support for post-9/11 veterans, has marked an important milestone—the fifth anniversary of The Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic in Mililani. This celebration not only honored the clinic's accomplishments so far but also unveiled a new partnership with Endeavors, a collaboration aimed at increasing support for Hawaii's veteran and military communities.
New Partnership with Endeavors
This partnership with Endeavors is a significant step forward. Endeavors brings a wealth of experience in operating mental health clinics that serve military families, notably through its management of three other Cohen Clinics on the mainland. With this collaboration, the Mililani clinic is expected to enhance its capacity to assist over 220,000 veterans, service members, and their families across Hawaii.
Impact on the Community
The Mililani clinic has already made a notable impact, providing care to more than 2,800 clients since its establishment. During the community celebration, local leaders and attendees acknowledged the essential role the clinic plays in delivering high-quality, accessible mental health services within the region. The strong attendance of around 75 guests, including military and business representatives, showcased the broad support for the clinic's mission.
Expanding Mental Health Services
In a statement, Dr. Anthony Hassan, the president and CEO of CVN, expressed enthusiasm about the ongoing collaboration, saying, "We are excited to once again partner with Endeavors, an accomplished operator of our clinics. Together, we will continue to fill the gaps in care for the more than 220,000 post-9/11 veterans, service members and military family members across the beautiful state of Hawaii." This sentiment reflects a shared commitment to ensuring those who served the nation receive the mental health support they need.
Comprehensive Care at the Cohen Clinic
CVN provides a wide range of mental health services, treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and more. The Mililani clinic, a part of the national network consisting of 22 Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinics, has played a critical role in ensuring that care is accessible to all, regardless of discharge status or service experience. With services available since the clinic's inception, CVN has delivered over 820,000 clinical sessions to more than 90,000 clients.
Commitment to Accessibility
The Mililani clinic is dedicated to addressing not only mental health challenges but also the social determinants of health impacting its clients. This includes providing case management to assist individuals and families with employment, housing, and financial issues. Such a holistic approach is essential in promoting overall well-being within the community of veterans and their families.
Looking to the Future
With the newly formed partnership with Endeavors, the clinic aims to further strengthen its outreach and enhance mental health services available to Hawaii's military community. Endeavors CEO Chip Fulghum emphasized the importance of this collaboration by stating, "We are honored to deepen our partnership with Cohen Veterans Network to expand mental health services for Hawaii's veterans, service members, and their families." This partnership will incorporate both in-person and telehealth options, making crucial services more accessible to those in need.
Located at 95-1091 ??inamakua Dr., Mililani, HI 96789, the Cohen Clinic invites veterans, service members, and their families to take advantage of the comprehensive services offered.
