Sailors and Coast Guardsmen may self-refer to the program or be referred by family members, command leadership or medical providers.

"For the longest time, I was doing nothing. I would go to the gym and then go home and play video games and watch TV. Adaptive athletics has opened my eyes so much."

Navy Wounded Warrior provides enrollee families with a variety of support services to help make their jobs as caregivers more manageable.

"I look forward to the camaraderie and I am proud to represent my community and the Navy," said 2016 Warrior Games athlete.

Adaptive sports help wounded warriors build strength and endurance, while also drawing inspiration from their teammates.

   

Recovery

 

Navy Wounded Warrior provides a wide range of support services to wounded warriors recovering from serious illness or injury – beginning at bedside and continuing throughout the rest of their lives.

Wounded warriors enrolled in Navy Wounded Warrior are assigned a regional non-medical care management team that helps develop a Comprehensive Recovery Plan (CRP). The CRP identifies short- and long-term recovery goals and lists strategies to achieve them.

Navy Wounded Warrior helps Sailors and Coast Guardsmen return to duty. When that’s not possible, the program works collaboratively with federal agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Labor, as well as state and local organizations, to ensure successful reintegration of service members back into their communities.

Numquam Navigare Solus – Never to Sail Alone

Sailors and Coast Guardsmen may self-refer to Navy Wounded Warrior, or be referred by a family member, their command leadership or their medical team. Contact the Navy Wounded Warrior call center at 855-NAVY WWP / 855-628-9997, or email navywoundedwarrior.fct@navy.mil.
