President, CAPT, USAF, Ret/Disabled

Kimberly Juroviesky, CAPT, USAF, WHNP, CNM, is a disabled veteran who served in the military as a Nurse Practitioner and Nurse Midwife. She trained at Columbia University and The University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. She was injured on active duty while in the USAF and developed Complex Regional Pain Syndrome which unfortunately, forced her to retire from her career early. Kimberly began getting Ketamine Infusions in 2015 as part of a research study. While they don’t make her pain levels disappear, they do bring them down to what she describes as “liveable levels”. Kimberly also found that the ketamine greatly helped her PTSD, Depression, and Anxiety. Kimberly was invited to attend a Ketamine retreat in 2021 the first of its kind. Kimberly found that getting ketamine combined with intensive therapy in a retreat setting with the proper support of a strong medical and therapy team made the results she experienced even better, After talking with other veterans she realized there was an incredible need for this sort of healing in the veteran community and from that Healing Our Heroes was born.

Vice President,

Matt Carr was medically-retired from the US Air Force at the rank of Captain in November 2015 following a non-combat-related injury sustained while on duty during a training exercise.  He was originally commissioned as a 2nd Lieutenant in 2009, immediately beginning pilot training after attending AFROTC and graduating from Florida State University.  During his career Matt was fortunate to fulfill a lifelong dream of being a pilot, becoming rated in both the F-16 and C-17.  However, injuries precluded him from becoming fully operational and deploying.  He developed significant chronic pain along with mental health challenges as a result of the injury, spinal cord damage, and nine neurosurgical operations.  Before 2017 Matt’s then-pain physician was prescribing him 140mg daily of Oxymorphone (Opana) in an incredibly unsuccessful attempt to ignore life.  With the help of family, and friends, while also tapping into savings and credit cards, Matt decided to start investing in himself and pursued more holistic approaches to healing that are unfortunately not typically covered by insurance.  While meditation, acupuncture, functional medicine and medical cannabis are an amazing foundation that have all helped in his healing journey, he found psychedelic-assisted therapy to be the most transformative.  It’s a catalyst, with the benefits extending to both his physical and mental well-being.  Matt has since developed a deep passion for the healing potential of psychedelics and is dedicated to supporting fellow Veterans and others who have been overlooked or underserved by the medical system in their journey toward healthier, more fulfilling lives.
