Heroes Healing Fund Inc. was founded by Dr. Angela Kenzslowe, an Army veteran and psychologist trained by the military. Witnessing firsthand the gaps in trauma care provided by the VA, Dr. Kenzslowe embarked on a mission to develop comprehensive trauma programs to support veterans healing. However, she quickly encountered significant funding obstacles that limited the reach and effectiveness of these programs.
In her clinical practice, Dr. Kenzslowe faced further challenges working with insurance companies, which often dictated eligibility criteria that conflicted with clinical judgments about wounded veterans needs. Realizing that these issues were not unique to her practice but were widespread among providers trying to serve veterans, Dr. Kenzslowe, along with the COO of her clinical practice, Tynan Hilliard, recognized a systemic gap in support.
Driven by the conviction that our veterans deserve exemplary care without financial barriers, they established the veterans charity, Heroes Healing Fund Inc. This organization aims to ensure that veterans and first responders receive the mental health support they need, as determined by clinical experts rather than insurance mandates. Our mission is to empower healthcare providers to offer necessary treatments freely, honoring the service and sacrifices of our heroes with the respect and care they deserve.
