Moulton Visits Home Base National Center of Excellence to Highlight Veterans’ Mental Healthcare Innovation

CHARLESTOWN, MA—Today, Congressman Seth Moulton (MA-06) visited the Home Base National Center of Excellence to tour its state-of-the-art facilities, meet with leadership, and discuss how federal policy directly impacts mental healthcare for veterans, active-duty service members, and their families.

Guided by retired Brig. Gen. Jack Hammond, Executive Director of Home Base, Congressman Moulton toured Home Base’s outpatient clinic, clinical research labs, and specialized care facilities. The visit focused on addressing the growing pressure on non-profit healthcare providers amid federal funding cuts imposed by the Trump Administration, ongoing staffing shortages at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and the urgent need to expand high-impact, innovative treatments for trauma.

"Home Base is filling critical gaps in veteran care by eliminating barriers that too often prevent service members from getting help," said Congressman Seth Moulton. "Whether it's pioneering breakthrough psychedelic research for treatment-resistant PTSD, supporting military families, or delivering care regardless of discharge status, their work sets a national standard. As we face staffing challenges and service reductions across the VA, supporting non-profit leaders like Home Base is essential to keeping our promise to those who served."

Home Base is a partnership between Mass General Brigham, the Red Sox Foundation, and the Wounded Warrior Project’s Warrior Care Network that provides clinical care, intensive treatment programs, and family support services at zero out-of-pocket cost to patients.
