STARKVILLE, Miss.--VFW Magazine, the national publication for U.S. veterans of foreign wars with a circulation of 1.5 million, heralds Mississippi State University's unique partnership with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs in its current issue.

"Mississippi State Partners with VA in First-of-its-Kind Arrangement" is accessible in the February edition or online. The article explains that Northeast Mississippi veterans who formerly received care at the G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery VA Medical Center in Jackson may now receive physical therapy and mental health services at MSU's Montgomery Center for America's Veterans.
