Help Without Hassles
In 1979, the U.S. Congress approved funding for an outpatient, community-based "readjustment counseling" program to be overseen by the Veterans Administration (VA) and accessible to those who had served in the military during the era of the war in Vietnam.

Building on studies of the struggles of Black leaders and health care providers to win professional and public health advancement in the 1920s and 1930s, and of advocates to mobilize for health care rights in the mid-20th century, I focus primarily on the experiences and activism of patients in…

The story of the founding of Walter Reed, which remained one of the flagship military health institutions in the United States until its 2011 closure, is a story about the complexities of the turn of the twentieth…
