The Center For The Intrepid

This place is hands down amazing! This is a center for the wounded warriors. They have a beautiful gym and a Spurs sponsored basketball court outside. The Spurs came here to pay a visit one time as well.

I absolutely love helping out my fellow Soldiers and Veterans. Nothing warms my heart more than to know that the work I do saves lives and makes the lives of the wounded and their families the more better. Thanks CFI for accepting me within the confines of your facility.

The physical therapy services and support provided here for wounded warriors are unbelievable and extremely admirable. You can request tour information by calling them up and the tours are very informative. You’ll learn about the different stations and types of therapy they provide, the history and background for the dedications and pieces in the different areas, and find out just how they support not only the wounded warriors but their families as well.
In the main conference room they have shelves full of coins given to them by different commanders and commands in support of what they’ve done and what they continue to do. I was told that at one time the weight of the coins was so much on the glass shelves that the shelves fell and completely broke. They had to order new shelves and move the coins to sturdier shelves to hold them. There are even pieces of the WTC that are in display in the same room as well.
On another level, there’s a running lap that runs along the circumference of the building. I can’t remember how many laps but I want to say 16 would make a mile. I may be wrong though. They seemed to have everything someone going through pt could need: anti-​gravity machines, virtual reality training provided by Computer Assisted Rehabilitation Environment (CAREN), a driving simulator, a motion analysis lab, and a firearms training simulator. The last room being one that Mrs. Fisher (of the Fisher Houses) painted herself. A country field can be seen when the lights in the room are on.
Bricks outside the CIF are all dedicated to those that have fallen and leads to a pathway to the Fisher Houses next door. I am so happy I finally got to see what the CIF was all about. It’s about time our wounded warriors have this level of support available to them.
