LUKE is proud to stand with the American Association of Christian Counselors and distinguished leaders in launching the HERO Council. Our warfighters, veterans, first responders, and their families are carrying burdens without the support they deserve, and the shortage of behavioral health providers has only deepened the crisis. The HERO Council offers a different kind of answer by combining the best of science with the hope of faith. It will establish clear standards for training and certification, ensuring that care is both clinically strong and spiritually anchored. Human flourishing is not only about individual well-being but also about the strength of our families, our communities, and ultimately our Nation. At LUKE, we have always been dedicated to positively impacting people through quality care, and serving on this Council allows us to lead in raising the bar for accountability and oversight while advancing solutions that reflect our Nation’s deepest values. This is how we honor their sacrifice, strengthen our Nation, and ensure no hero is ever left behind again.
