Described as a grassroots organization based in Pierce County, the Mission of Healing Foundation aims to offer veterans suffering from PTSD new avenues for healing through mission trips and community involvement.

This insightful discussion revolves around the PACT Act, a landmark legislation expanding healthcare benefits for veterans exposed to toxic substances during their service. With personal anecdotes and expert commentary, this episode offers a meaningful exploration of how these exposures impact veterans and their families long after the conflict has ended. Throughout the conversation, Trish Turnage and her guests unpack the details of the PACT Act, emphasizing how it eases the burden of proof for veterans suffering from conditions presumed to be service-connected.
