ANGEL FIRE— A $1.4 million contract from the New Mexico Department of Human Services will enable the National Veterans Wellness and Healing Center plans to bring 90 New Mexico veteran couples a year to Angel Fire for PTSD recovery programs the next four years. The department is providing the center $350,000-a-year to carry out the program.
“It feels great for our veterans,” said Chuck Howe, the center’s president, said Wednesday (Oct. 16).
