"When our heroes return home from the battlefront, we must use every resource available to help them lead normal and productive lives," said Bilirakis. "This hearing will allow us to examine one of the many new avenues to accomplish this vitally important goal."
Therapeutic recreation focuses on all aspects of improving an individual's health and functioning and is a vital component of integrated medical care at the VA. James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital in Tampa is home to a dynamic recreation therapy services program.
