The Society’s vision is to serve as a strong voluntary organization which actively supports Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, its people and Legacy.
How You Can Help
It is only through the generosity of our compassionate donors that the Society can offer its support to our troops and their families in times of great stress. The Society sponsors events and funds projects and goods that enhance patient care services, support the welfare and morale of service members and other staff, and preserve the legacy and renowned international reputation of “Walter Reed” the man and the institution named in his honor. Through the generous support of our donors the Walter Reed
Society is able to provide assistance to service members and their families when support provided through government means does not meet the immediate need during the patient’s treatment at WRNMMC. Funding is approved for assistance on a case by case review of the applications and a personal meeting with a WRS representative, and it is considered a grant. Scores of wounded warriors and their family members have received assistance from the Society. Help with travel, lodging and subsistence expenses is a frequent need.
The following is just one example: A young soldier, who lost both legs and one arm, wanted his sister to visit during the holidays. Without Society support, she could not have afforded the trip. Additionally, the Society provided a $500 grant so his mother could extend her stay to support his recuperation.
The Society has sponsored group activities, such as fishing trips, talent shows, occupational therapy and stress management projects, as well as transportation and box lunches to events downtown.
