DHCC Specialized Care Program is a three week multidisciplinary program for members of all armed services and family members who have been through the PDH-CPG cycle of care and continue to present with chronic illnesses such as medically unexplained physical symptoms.

The VA War Related Illness and Injury Study Centers (WRIISC) are specialized centers that provide service to combat veterans who have difficult-to-diagnose disabling illnesses through clinical care, risk communication, education, and research addressing potential environmental exposures and adverse health outcomes. VA primary care providers of veterans with undiagnosed illnesses can request an evaluation at one of the Centers through the VA Central Office. Referral acceptance is a joint decision of VA Central Office, the WRIISC, the referring provider, and the patient.
