Announcement

Effective immediately, the New Jersey Gulf War Research Center has been integrated with the War-Related Illness and Injury Study Center in East Orange New Jersey.

The Secretary of Veterans Affairs established the Centers for the Study of War-Related Illnesses on May 10, 2001, which soon after became the War-Related Illness and Injury Study Centers (WRIISC). The centers are located at the VA New Jersey Health Care System, East Orange Campus and the VA Medical Center, Washington, DC. The centers were developed to respond to the health problems of veterans from past and future conflicts of all eras and for improving the care of active duty and veteran patients with war-related illnesses.

Many, if not all of the same issues addressed by the New Jersey Gulf War Research Center will be addressed by the WRIISC.

The WRIISC site can be found at http://www.wri.med.va.gov/
