When the VA dramatically cut massage therapy referrals in early 2025, hundreds of South Dakota veterans lost access to care that was helping them manage chronic pain, PTSD, and mobility issues.
We couldn’t stand by and watch.
Healing Touch has partnered with Integrative Medicine Specialties and local practitioners to launch Healing Our Heroes — a coalition providing sponsored integrative care to veterans who lost coverage, while building the case for policy change at the congressional level.
We’re collecting signatures on an open letter to Senators Rounds and Thune, documenting veteran stories, and delivering free massage sessions to those in need.
If you’re a veteran who lost VA coverage, or if you want to support this effort, visit our Healing Our Heroes page to learn more.
