The VA would have to create at least five centers to study, teach, and offer newer therapies for veterans. These centers would focus on conditions like PTSD, depression, chronic pain, and substance use disorder. The bill also funds research and education and requires reports to Congress.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
Innovative Therapies Centers of Excellence Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Subcommittee on Health.
Latest action on H.R. 2623: Referred to the Subcommittee on Health.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects veterans who use VA health care and may need new treatment options, especially for PTSD, depression, chronic pain, substance use disorder, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or Parkinson’s disease. It also directly affects VA hospitals that want to host one of these centers, VA doctors and therapists who may get new training, and medical schools that would partner with the centers. Over time, veterans outside the host sites could also feel the effects if the VA expands access through a broader provider network.
Why this matters: This matters because some veterans do not get enough relief from standard treatments for PTSD, depression, chronic pain, or substance use disorder. This bill would push the VA to build a formal system for testing, teaching, and expanding newer therapies instead of leaving the work to scattered local efforts. It could speed up research and make access more equal across regions. But the real effect on veterans would still depend on later VA choices, clinical evidence, and available funding.
