Support Free, Visiting Nurses for Combat-Served Marines and Sailors

The Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) is the only non-profit providing registered nurses to visit combat-injured Sailors and Marines. Our nurses make face-to-face visits for as long as they are needed -- in hospitals, at rehabilitation facilities, or in service members' homes.

Providing this service is costly, but it's the only way to ensure our combat-served men and women receive the care they deserve.

Take Jason Jordan, who struggled to cope with civilian life after surviving multiple IED bombings during his tours in Iraq as a U.S. Marine.

He gained more than 100 pounds. He felt lost. But he found help.

Tammy Ackiss first met Jason in 2008 as his Navy nurse. Months later, she found herself working with Jason again as a NMCRS Combat Casualty Assistance (CCA) Visiting Nurse.

Tammy helped Jason build a new life, standing by his side through whatever came his way -- and today, Jason advocates for other service members who need help transitioning to civilian life - and he's shed those 100 pounds.

If you believe our nation's heroes deserve compassionate care in their time of need, pledge to donate $5 or more to support the Society’s CCA Visiting Nurses today.
