"The launch of our first clinic in Kansas reflects CVN's dedication to meeting military families where they are and ensuring they have access to the high-quality mental health care they deserve," said Dr. Anthony Hassan, President and CEO of Cohen Veterans Network. "We are proud to again partner with Centerstone and deeply grateful to the Robert R. McCormick Foundation for helping us bring this essential resource to a community and state in need of greater access to care."

The Kansas clinic marks an expansion of CVN's partnership with Centerstone, which also operates Cohen Clinics in Clarksville, TN; Fayetteville, NC; Jacksonville, FL; and Hinesville, GA.

"This clinic represents a critical opportunity to help veterans, active service members and their families address their mental health needs," Centerstone Regional Chief Executive Officer Ben Middleton said.

The clinic is principally funded by the Robert R. McCormick Foundation and Steve Cohen. Colonel Robert R. McCormick served with the 1st Infantry Division in France during WWI, which shaped his deep respect for servicemembers and veterans. The McCormick Foundation continues his commitment to those who wear the uniform. Today, the Foundation invests in the Fort Riley community to support the 1st Infantry Division service members, veterans, and their families. In Kansas and in Chicago, the Foundation supports efforts to improve access and the quality of mental health care for veterans.

"We are committed to the Fort Riley community and grateful to our partners, the Cohen Veterans Network and Centerstone, for helping us deepen our support for the service members, veterans, and families of the 1^st Infantry Division and other members of Kansas' military community," said Timothy P. Knight, President and CEO of the Robert R. McCormick Foundation. "With this clinic, we are bringing accessible, high-quality care to military families in Kansas and continuing Colonel McCormick's legacy of service to the men and women who serve in our military."

The clinic will address a range of mental health concerns including depression, anxiety, military transition challenges, adjustment issues, PTSD, anger, grief and loss, family issues, relationship challenges, and children's behavioral problems. In addition to therapy, the clinic will provide comprehensive case management services to support clients with social drivers of health, including employment, finances, housing, and more.
