🎉 Celebrating 100 Years of VA Research We’re proud to spotlight Stacy Moeder, whose impact is deeply felt across PAVIR and VA communities. “Scientific expertise has taken a backseat in our recent environment and our challenges are not hypothesis but resource driven. In this time of need, Stacy has provided unlimited, comprehensive, continuous and innovative support to not just individual researchers but to entire labs and departments. When you arrive with a problem at her door, you leave not just with a solution but a feeling that she will take care of it - personally.” ~ Maheen Adamson, PhD, Director of Research WOMEN “Stacy is an essential part of our research team, helping with so many aspects of administration. Her expertise in managing the interface between PAVIR and the VA is particularly valuable to me, and you help keep everyone moving forward with such proficiency.” ~ Peter Bayley, PhD, Director of Research WRIISC 👏 Thank you, Stacy, for being a cornerstone of VA research and Veteran care.

🌟 Celebrating Excellence in Research at VA Palo Alto Health Care System 🌟 We are thrilled to share that the VA Palo Alto Health Care System (VAPAHCS) has received an "Exemplary" rating—the highest accolade awarded by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF)—for its groundbreaking research efforts within the Polytrauma System of Care. This rare and prestigious recognition highlights practices that are not only innovative and creative but also produce outstanding clinical and operational results that benefit the entire field of rehabilitation. 📄 From CARF’s report: “The Polytrauma System of Care of VAPAHCS demonstrates exemplary conformance in its research efforts and support of the education of its staff. Over the past three years, a new building was designed, the team relocated to it less than 12 months ago. Simultaneously, the team continued to focus on research with 28 ongoing and new projects, presenting more than 171 abstracts and posters at various conferences as well as having 80 publications.” Research areas include: * Long-term effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI) * Sex and gender factors in rehabilitation * Virtual reality applications in TBI care * Headache management and wellness programming * And most recently, disorders of consciousness in collaboration with Stanford Medicine 📚 With partnerships across 32+ academic institutions, VAPAHCS is also shaping the future of rehabilitation by mentoring the next generation of clinicians through internships and residencies. What makes this achievement even more remarkable? These accomplishments were driven by 85 dedicated staff members—all of whom are also engaged in direct patient care. Their commitment to integrating research into daily practice is a model for excellence in the field. 👏 Please join us in congratulating the entire VAPAHCS team for this extraordinary milestone.
