Veterans and their families founded the Magnus Veterans Foundation, a tax exempt 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The organization’s founders have over one hundred years of combined military service, most of which are within Special Operations Forces.
Our dedicated team understands the profound impact that war and military service has on veterans and their families. They include physicians, licensed professionals, veteran families, community leaders, and military service advocates.
We pledge to devote our professions and leadership to the Magnus Mission by creating a comprehensive care clinic specialized in veteran health and performance.
Magnus Veterans Wellness Campus, the most comprehensive approach to veteran and veteran family health and wellness to date, opened its doors on June 1, 2021. The MVWC is on the grounds of a serene and beautiful 37-acre estate in Dayton, MN. The campus includes a medical and psychological health clinic, a gym with Life Fitness equipment, mindfulness and artistic spaces.
Ongoing fundraising community engagement venues are designed to support MVWC memberships and bring members and the surrounding communities together. Our professional staff provide our Five Performance Pillar programming while volunteers are the building blocks to fully connect the community with the people who have served our country. Magnus not only provides exemplary life-saving care for the members who need it, we also get to know all of our members to create an atmosphere of inclusion with a sense of belonging to celebrate all those who have honorably served our country, Vet and family. We are uniquely – Magnus.
Our Leadership SHAWN ALDERMAN, M.D. MVF Founder & President U.S. Army Special Forces Lt. Col. (retired) and Family Physician, Group Surgeon for 5th Special Forces Group – 31 years of service time. As our highest-ranking executive, Alderman’s dynamic personality, powerful vision and exuberant drive lead the foundation. He serves as a Physician to our Magnus Members; he speaks publicly to enlist audiences of veterans, corporations, government entities, and organizations to our mission; he manages the foundation’s resources and sets long and short-term strategies for Magnus’ success.
At Magnus Veterans Foundation, our wellness model is focused around our five performance pillars as we address the gap between our warriors and our communities. As less than 2 percent of our nation’s population has served in the Armed Services, our elite Special Operations Forces division has recognized the need for specialized care requirements for both veterans and their families. Magnus is committed to reconnecting our warriors with our communities while addressing the whole person and their families through the U.S. Special Operations Command Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF) initiative. Dr. Alderman used this system and has brought it to Minnesota and provide exceptional health and wellness care to both veterans and their families at no cost.
What are the Five Performance Pillars?
Our holistic approach goes well beyond traditional primary care to promote health and wellness on every level: medical, physical, psychological, spiritual, and social.
MEDICAL
Optimal performance starts with overall health and wellness, including evidence-based preventive medical screening and individualized treatment plans developed by our health and wellness team and patients together.
PHYSICAL
Magnus provides individual and group sessions with physical trainers utilizing state-of-the-art equipment along with a physical therapist to help members achieve their fitness and nutritional goals.
PSYCHOLOGICAL
The psychological impacts of war are specific to the veteran and his/her family. Treatment is provided by highly trained and experienced mental health specialists. Auricular acupuncture is available to members which is an effective treatment for those suffering from PTSD, sleep disorders, substance abuse, and pain.
SPIRITUAL
Veterans and their families come from every spiritual and religious background. Regardless of affiliation, connecting them to a higher purpose provides meaning to their sacrifices and a framework for healing.
SOCIAL
How well veteran families relate to their communities is critical to full healing and restoration. Connecting those who go to war and those who send them promotes family and community healing.
