In Illinois, the veteran suicide rate in 2023 was 25.6 per 100,000 veterans, far exceeding the state and national averages for the general population. That's why suicide prevention plays a prominent role in veteran healthcare.
Centerstone has been awarded the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant from the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs. The grant provides $750,000 to help engage veterans in suicide prevention services and connect them to earned VA healthcare and benefits.
