Bronx VA Medical Center

The James J. Peters VA Medical Center (Bronx VA) in New York is home to the Center for Psychedelic Psychotherapy and Trauma Research—a joint initiative with Mount Sinai's Icahn School of Medicine led by Dr. Rachel Yehuda—which pioneered the first FDA-approved randomized MDMA-assisted psychotherapy trial within the VA system and has conducted ketamine-based trials for chronic PTSD and suicidal ideation in veterans. The center is one of nine VA facilities participating in the expanded national VA psychedelic-assisted therapy research program.
