Why Veterans Struggle to Get the Support They Need

They've served our country, but getting support when they come home can be another battle. In episode 397 of the Prime Family Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wyss discuss the challenges veterans and military families face when seeking care. They share their experiences navigating the VA system, why some veterans hesitate to accept help, and what inspired them to create The Spine Project. Hear how their mission grew from offering care in their clinic to building a community-supported nonprofit serving veterans, active-duty service members, and their families. This conversation explores the importance of connection, community sponsorship, and turning gratitude into meaningful action. Supporting our veterans starts with understanding their struggles and showing up beyond "thank you for your service."
