Chris Draft visited Shepherd Center, one of the nation’s top rehabilitation hospitals,  on June 19, 2008.  Shepherd Center, A Catastrophic Care Hospital in Atlanta has partnered with Home Depot co-founder and philanthropist Bernie Marcus to help wounded U.S. military service members and their families obtain additional care to promote their recovery from combat-related injuries. 

The program, called the SHARE Initiative, provides services for military men and women who were wounded during their service in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. Funding is provided for services that may fall out of coverage under TRICARE, the health benefits plan for military service members and dependents, and include necessary medical rehabilitation, post-acute rehabilitation and also community and family support services.
