Georgia Radio Reading Service (GaRRS)
The Georgia Radio Reading Service (GaRRS) and the Atlanta VA Rehabilitation Research & Development Center of Excellence partner to provide a half-hour recurring radio show titled VI@GARRS- Veterans Information at the Georgia Radio Reading Service. Via this partnership we proudly provide outreach and education to more than 16,000 subscribed Georgia Veterans, their families and Georgians generally, who have limited ability to access print and print materials.
The aim is to heighten awareness among print challenged Veterans and
their families throughout the state of Georgia about the research initiatives
and clinical services and programs available at the Atlanta VA Medical Center. The long term goal of the program is to connect Veterans
with meaningful research studies and/or needed, helpful clinical services that
they may otherwise not know are available or know how to access. Each interview
features either a researcher or clinician (some are clinician scientists that
may speak to both) and ends with how Veterans can get more information,
participate, who they can contact, and how they can engage.
The VI@GARRS program schedule is coordinated by of the CVNR.
