Many of today’s medical breakthroughs are the result, in part, of VA research. As a veteran, you may be eligible to participate in one of the Department of Veterans Affairs many ongoing clinical trials—and play a role in helping veterans and their families stay healthy.
Make a difference and enroll in a beneficial and completely confidential study at Syracuse VA Medical Center if you have a history or diagnosis of:
• colitis
• diabetes
• respiratory problems
• stroke or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)
Clinical trials are extremely safe and exten-sively reviewed by committed independent advisory boards. Participants are followed closely by medi-cal specialists who devote their lives to improving the health of those suffering from these illnesses.
For more information, contact your local VA medical center or call Paula Becker, R.N., at (315) 425-4400, ext. 52271, or Seema Mirje at ext. 52325
“If you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn
will come.
You wait and watch and work: You don’t give up.”
—Henry James, author
