STARKVILLE, Miss.–Mississippi State University and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will celebrate a new partnership, the first of its kind in the nation, with a public ceremony at MSU’s Hunter Henry Center.
On Wednesday [Nov. 5] at 10 a.m., administrators from MSU, the G.V. “Sonny” Montgomery Veterans Administration Medical Center and the Veterans Health Administration will mark the celebration of MSU as being the only university campus in the nation to administer veteran’s health benefits in conjunction with the VA.
The university, with the Jackson VA, is offering polytrauma services–physical, occupational and speech therapies, along with mental health services services to not only students, but local residents as well.
