Ty Bathurst, Former Navy SEAL Commander and Head of SOCOM Human Performance, Selected to Lead 'Time for a Hero'
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Retiring SEAL Commander and head of SOCOM Human Performance, Ty Bathurst, has been named Executive Director of Time for a Hero, a non-profit veterans' organization dedicated to providing cost-free regenerative medicine treatments for Special Operations Forces.
"I started Time for a Hero to help our nation's greatest warriors get the world-class medical care they deserve," said Gregg Phillips, founder of Time for a Hero. "These heroes come home from combat and suffer from wounds you can't see, like traumatic brain injuries and chronic pain. The only options they're given are surgery, counseling, and a steady diet of pain meds. It shouldn't be that way. Stem cell therapy, hyperbaric oxygen treatments, nutritional and hormonal supplementation- these are regenerative therapies that have the potential to heal, but these treatments aren't supported by the VA or covered by insurance. That's why we're doing what we're doing. It's a travesty to deny our heroes the medical advancements that could restore their lives."
"Ty Bathurst is the perfect fit to reach into the broader Special Operations Community and bring these much needed treatments to a community of warriors in need. His personal experience, passion and drive will continue to serve the Special Operations Community for years to come and we are excited to leverage his talents," remarked Phillips.
"Serving alongside great men has been both an honor and privilege," said Bathurst "This role, the founders' faith and passion, and the mission to continue to serve, are why I knew this team was ideal. I'm very humbled to be a part of Time For A Hero to continue in service of our warriors."
Ty served multiple combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and worked extensively in South America, Europe and the Pacific. He earned the Bronze Star with "V" for Valor, a Purple Heart and several other awards and has been held aloft by a faithful bride of 22 years, three great children and all of God's grace.
Time for a Hero (T4H), is a San Diego based 501c3 non-profit organization. Its mission is to save the lives of Special Operations Forces veterans by providing life-saving regenerative medical therapies to treat traumatic brain injuries sustained in combat, giving veterans and their families hope for a pain-free, drug-free life.
