Veteran care is at the core of what we do. For over a century, Deer Lodge Centre has stood as a pillar of compassion and care for those who have bravely served our country. Established in 1916 as a convalescent hospital for soldiers returning from World War I, it has grown into a trusted sanctuary where Veterans find dignity, support, and healing. Our legacy is woven with stories of courage and sacrifice, a history that continues to inspire our unwavering commitment to those who served.
Veteran care at Deer Lodge Centre is a cornerstone of our commitment to those who have served. We proudly provide specialized, compassionate care for both aging Veterans and younger service members, recognizing their unique healthcare needs and honouring their service.
Our specialized Veteran care services offer dedicated support for those who served in the Canadian Forces. We ensure dignity and exceptional care for those who defended our nation.
Alongside this, the Operational Stress Injury (OSI) Clinic at Deer Lodge Centre provides vital mental health support for younger Veterans, active service members, and eligible RCMP members.
Supporting the OSI Clinic for Younger Veterans
The Operational Stress Injury (OSI) Clinic is a beacon of hope for younger Veterans and service members facing invisible wounds from their time in uniform. It offers specialized mental health care for conditions like PTSD, anxiety, and depression, which can often linger long after service has ended. Our compassionate team provides personalized support through talk therapy, pharmacotherapy, and group sessions, helping Veterans reclaim their sense of purpose and well-being.
But the OSI Clinic offers more than treatment—it provides a lifeline. Many who walk through our doors carry the weight of their experiences in silence. Here, they find understanding, a community that validates their struggles, and the professional care needed to rebuild their lives. Every success story at the OSI Clinic is a testament to the power of care, empathy, and community support.
Your support allows us to expand resources, fund new therapies, and contribute to groundbreaking research on Veteran mental health, ensuring no service member is left behind in their healing journey.
