HEALING THOSE WHO PROTECT US
At Operator Relief Fund (ORF), we have made it our mission to bring best-in-class wellness treatment and services to shadow warriors struggling with operator syndrome (PTS). The scars endured from service have impact on mind, body and spirit of the operators and their families. Shadow Warrior fatalities have more than doubled from 2022-2023, mainly attributed to cancer and suicide. It is our passion and duty to help them begin a journey to health and wellness.
OUR APPROACH
ORF provides funding for Advanced Stellate Ganglion Block (ASGB) treatment for shadow warriors to enable a journey to health and wellness. The procedure calms the constant fight or flight state so the operator can then begin to address other issues and focus on living a healthy lifestyle.
OUR IMPACT
0
To date, ORF has funded 347 Shadow Warrior Health & Recovery Journeys.
Based on year 1 of a 3 year study, we are seeing 65-80% efficacy of reduced PTS symptoms at 9 months and counting for both active and veteran participants.

2025ORF has partnered with America's Warrior Partnership to formalize a pre and post-treatment capture of patient data over 3 years to understand the impact and efficacy of this treatment. A goal would be adoption of the administration of ASGB by the VA and active duty medical personnel, as well as, civilian insurance providers.
