Mission Statement
The Lone Star Chapter, Paralyzed Veterans of America, a congressionally chartered veterans service organization established on 19th of August 1989, is locally involved in the support of its members or veterans who served in the armed forces that have experienced spinal cord injury or dysfunction, in the North Texas area.
Our Mission:
Lone Star Chapter PVA advocate for:
1. Quality health care for its members and veterans
2. Ensure its members that they will receive education addressing their spinal injury or dysfunction.
3. Ensure its members get help in securing benefits as a result of their military service.
4. Ensure its members that their Civil rights and opportunities are met to maximize their independence.
To enable LSPVA to continue to honor this commitment, we must recruit and retain members who have the experience, energy, dedication and passion necessary to help guide the organization and ensure adequate resources to sustain the programs essential for LSPVA to achieve its mission.

H1N1 Flu
H1N1 Flu or also known as Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses. Outbreaks of swine flu happen regularly in pigs. People do not normally get swine flu, but human infections can and do happen. Most commonly, human cases of swine flu happen in people who are around pigs but it is possible for swine flu viruses to spread from person to person also.
This page has been developed in response to reports of human swine flu. VA is issuing general messages, more detailed advisories for medical staff, and other information as events unfold. To stay updated, the authoritative Federal source is: www.cdc.gov/swineflu.
