STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI) –  Mississippi State University students who have served in the military and Golden Triangle veterans now have access to specialized healthcare and benefits.

During a ceremony Wednesday morning, MSU, the U.S. Veterans Health Administration, and the state’s V-A Medical Center announced a partnership that will offer physical, occupational, and speech therapies, along with mental health services to local and student veterans.

The services will be available on the MSU campus, so veterans in the ares don’t have to travel regularly to Jackson.

The program is the first of its kind in the nation.
