Recovery Care Coordinator

Your main point of contact will be your Recovery Care Coordinator. His or her goal is to help you make sure you get the right care.

A member of your Service’s wounded warrior program team, your Recovery Care Coordinator is trained to help build a Recovery Plan, which identifies your needs and lays out the path for you to meet personal and professional goals during your recovery, rehabilitation and reintegration. Your Recovery Care Coordinator will work with you and your family, as well as your doctors, nurses, social workers, case managers, and wounded warrior program staff to create the Recovery Plan and put it into action.

A key part of this Recovery Plan is identifying, applying for and receiving the right benefits and compensation. Your Recovery Care Coordinator will provide oversight and assistance, identifying gaps in your non-medical services to address anything from home adaptation, transportation and finances to child care and educational goals. Your Recovery Care Coordinator, working with your other care providers, will ensure you are connected with federal, state, local, non-profit, and private sector programs which offer you support and benefits to meet those goals.

Sometimes your Recovery Care Coordinator will be in the same location as you and sometimes your Recovery Care Coordinator will be available by phone or e-mail. Either way, that person is someone you can trust as your ultimate resource for information and assistance.

Think of your Recovery Care Coordinator as your own Command Center – someone who helps make sure your needs are being met by the right person in the right place and on time.
