The facility is the first of its kind, and it will be at the Veterans Hospital that is located in at Sainte-Anne-De-Bellevue. Because of the nature of Post Traumatic Stress, the new clinic facility was carefully designed to accommodate the different expected needs that patients that deal with this type of issue require.
