Nominate a Veteran
In 2019, the State of North Carolina passed House Bill 50, authorizing the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for the treatment of veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and/or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Since then, veterans across the state have experienced powerful outcomes with this innovative therapy.
Use the form below to nominate a veteran you know to be considered for HBOT treatment through the NC HBOT for Veterans Program.
Know a Hero Who Needs Help? Be the First to Reach Out.
Sometimes, the strongest people are the least likely to ask for help.
If you know a veteran who’s been struggling, you can take the first step — and we’ll take it from there.
Many veterans carry invisible wounds: brain injuries, emotional trauma, depression. You might see it in their eyes, hear it in their voice, or feel it in your gut — something’s not right.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is helping veterans reclaim their clarity, focus, and hope. If you believe someone you care about could benefit, you can nominate them today. We’ll start by reaching out to you, not them.
State-Recognized Healing
In 2019, the State of North Carolina passed House Bill 50, officially authorizing the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for the treatment of veterans with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Since then, hundreds of veterans across the state have experienced powerful results from this innovative, non-invasive treatment. Your nomination could be the first step in their journey toward healing.
Who Should Use This Form?
This form is for friends, family members, caretakers, neighbors and battle buddies – anyone who sees a veteran they care about struggling and wants to help them heal.
You might want to nominate someone if:
- They’ve served in the military and show signs of TBI, PTSD, or emotional distress
- They’re withdrawing, isolating, or facing challenges that feel bigger than themselves
- They won’t take the first step on their own — but you know they need a lifeline
You can be that lifeline.
How the Nomination Works
We keep things simple and respectful — especially when it comes to privacy.
- You fill out the form below.
Share your contact info and a few details about the veteran. - We contact you first.
Our care team will reach out to learn more and talk about the best way to approach the veteran. You’re not alone in this. - If the time is right, we connect with them.
If it makes sense and the time is right, we’ll connect with the veteran privately to offer support and explain the program.
Your referral stays confidential, and our team will always prioritize the veteran’s comfort, autonomy, and privacy.
Want to give them a heads up?
You’re welcome to let the veteran know you’ve submitted a referral — but you don’t have to. We’ll start by reaching out to you, and take it from there with care and discretion.
Why Your Nomination Matters
“After 40 treatments, my life completely changed… HBOT brought me back to my family.”
— Robert Dawson, HBOT4Heroes Veteran Recipient
When traditional therapies fall short, HBOT offers a new path forward:
- Reduces symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and depression
- Restores cognitive function after brain injury
- Reconnects veterans with their families, careers, and purpose
- Rekindles a sense of peace — and possibility
Your action could be their turning point.
Please Note Before You Submit
We will contact you first, not the veteran.
This allows us to better understand the situation and approach the veteran with care, discretion, and full respect for their privacy.
Your information — and the veteran’s — will remain confidential and used solely for coordination of care through HBOT4Heroes.
Please fill out as much as you’re comfortable sharing. All submissions are secure and protected.
