THE SERGEANT THOMAS JOSEPH SULLIVAN CENTER (SSC) VETERAN FELLOWSHIP FOR MISSION LEADERSHIP
The Sergeant Sullivan Center (SSC) is a growing 501(c)(3) nonprofit veterans healthcare advocacy and medical research grant-making organization headquartered in Washington, D.C. The Center is named in memory of a Marine Sergeant who died from physical health problems after his deployment to Iraq – what we call post-deployment illnesses: occupational and environmental diseases associated with military service in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Founded by the Marine’s family in 2010, The SSC is the only 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the nation exclusively dedicated to confronting and eradicating post-deployment illnesses through public awareness, medical research, and connection among stakeholders (doctors, patients, scientists, etc.). The SSC focuses on addressing the needs of veterans, researchers, and government officials who work on identifying and treating post-deployment illnesses associated with theater environmental and toxic exposures (also known as, toxic wounds).
