6. NATIONAL COUNCIL MAGAZINE • JULY 2008 Known as Military City USA, San Antonio is home to approximately 150,000 veterans, nearly 30 percent of whom are retirees. The city houses three active military bases: Lackland Air Force Base, Randolph Air Force Base, and Fort Sam Houston. Two former bases, Brooks City Base and Kelly USA, also provide military contracting supports and local city commerce. San Antonio’s veterans are served by three military hospitals—Brooke Army Medical Center, Wilford Hall Medical Center, and Audie L. Murphy Memorial Veterans Hospital. www.thenationalcouncil.org Texas Fosters Partnerships for Care For CHCS, opportunities to provide mental healthcare to veterans and their families resulted from strategic partnerships with local military hospitals and other community agencies. CHCS identifies behavioral health services the military is providing to veterans and families in its facilities and helps to supplement these services and adapt them to the community setting.
