Welcome to the Landstuhl Hospital Care Project!
LRMC has thousands of holday cards sent this time each year. We are very thankful for the out pouring of support but the amount of holiday cards is over whelming. This year please consider sending ITune cards with no holiday card this year.
The Landstuhl Hospital Care Project (LHCP) is a non-profit organization that provides comfort and relief items for military members who become sick, injured, or wounded from service in Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. Donated items are distributed to patients at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC) in Germany, the largest American military hospital outside the U.S.; to field hospitals in Afghanistan and Iraq; and to VA facilities throughout the United States.
Donations to LRMC are done through the Wounded Warrior Ministry Center. This allows all in-patients, out-patients, LRMC liaisons, LRMC nurses, and medical escorts access to supplies. The purpose of the program is to enhance the morale and welfare for troops and veterans by contributing quality of life items.
Each shipment that LHCP sends is sent in honor of a military member who has made the ultimate sacrifice and lost his or her life in service to our country. Hospital staff report that when patients learn that they and their fallen service members are remembered "back home," spirits are lifted. As one nurse wrote in an e-mail, "It's a reminder that what we do is not in vain. It means a lot to the guys that are back there recovering — it helps them know they are not alone."
For more information, including a current list of needed items, please go to our How You Can Help page.
Your contributions and fundraising tell our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines that they are supported. Thank you for making a difference in the life of service members hospitalized outside the United States.
