Dr. McGlinchey cared deeply for TRACTS participants and was passionate about improving Veterans' lives. In 2008 when the VA and country were faced with a new generation of Veterans returning from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq with complex and devastating challenges to their mental and physical health, she helped found the Translational Research Center for TBI and Stress Disorders (TRACTS) to conduct the research needed to address these problems in a rigorous and effective manner. TRACTS became the crown jewel of her career, producing hundreds of important studies and new techniques to assess and treat this generation of Veterans.
