Mission/Vision  

The Psychology Service plays an active part in the VA SORCC’s long-range goals by participating in strategic planning sessions, and conducting surveys and analyses as requested by Performance Improvement Teams and top management. Psychologists routinely complete focused reviews, sit on administrative investigation boards and participate as leaders, members, and facilitators of PI Teams.

The Psychology Service also supports the SORCC by providing treatment mandated in the Uniform Mental Health Services Handbook to residents and outpatients that contribute to positive Veteran Rehabilitation and Recovery goals.
