关于我们

MISSION: Their lives are our mission. Operation Healing Forces’ mission is to serve the needs of America’s wounded, ill, injured, and fallen Special Operations Forces service members, veterans, their families, caregivers, and survivors through a suite of programs that promote long-term mental, physical, emotional, and fiscal well-being. VISION: Creating Bonds That Cure Our vision is that all members of the Special Operations Forces community are able to enhance their resilience, empower their rehabilitation, embrace their reintegration, and lead fulfilling and productive lives. Through therapeutic retreats, our purpose is to enable these war-torn men and women to break through the silence to openly discuss their battlefield and personal hardships. A safe, protected environment allows our participants to let their guard down and share. Realizing they are not alone, participants discover it is appropriate — and not a stigma — to seek help, support, and guidance when needed from fellow SOF professionals and their families. The retreat environment combined with peer-to-peer counseling and recreational therapies enable sincere bonding between couples, with other spouses going through similar hardships, and among fellow SOF service members. Through our Special Operations Additional Resource (SOAR) program, SOF and their families can receive case by case assistance with our beneficial services. These services include long range financial planning, transitioning or retired SOF and family employment services, caregiver retreats, alumni support, legal assistance and resources, and ambassador dinners. OHF Immediate Needs program provides direct crisis support to Special Operations personnel and their families. The program covers costs that are not covered by government means including travel and expenses related to medical emergencies, medical and adaptive equipment, funeral and memorials costs, and other as needed crisis support.

    On a Mission to Impact 1,000,000 Lives with HatchPath

    In 2016, my life changed forever. A diving accident left me with a traumatic brain injury and an unstable neck, forcing me into a neck brace for four years and leading to debilitating pain, chronic illness, and a battle with depression. Shortly after, I was diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease, complications, pushing me further into a place of hopelessness and uncertainty. I wasn’t just fighting for my health—I was fighting for my life. But something shifted. I had a vision of throwing a ball with my future son, and that became my driving force. I refused to accept that this was it. Through trial, failure, and relentless persistence, I found a coach who changed everything—connecting me to nutritionists, mindset experts, and practitioners who guided me back to health. I threw myself into the process, committed to every aspect of recovery, and within eight months, I got better. That experience made me realize: why isn’t there an easier way to find trusted, life-changing support? That’s where HatchPath began. I built this company to bridge the gap between people and the life-changing professionals they need. We started as a consumer marketplace, growing to over 500 coaches, but soon realized the real opportunity was in partnering with organizations. In 2023, we partnered with Operation Healing Forces, and in one year, we facilitated over 1,000 sessions for special operations, veterans, and military families. By December 2024, we fully transitioned to a B2B platform, working with companies that recognize the power of coaching to transform lives. Today, HatchPath is proof that coaching works. We’ve now completed 1,200+ sessions, received 500+ five-star reviews, and most importantly, we’ve changed lives. I am beyond grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way—from my coaches, family, and friends to the incredible HatchPath team and the organizations that believe in what we’re doing. And to those looking to create real impact in their organization: HatchPath is it. We have the most empathetic, accountable, and experienced coaches on the planet We provide measurable, outcome-driven coaching for teams of any size We make it seamless for organizations to offer real support to their people No matter the size of your team, every investment in your people’s well-being creates impact. If you’re looking for a solution that actually works, HatchPath is ready. Let’s make health, resilience, and personal growth the standard—not the exception. #HatchPath #HealingToHelping #CoachingWorks #B2BWellness #TraumaToTriumph
