Decline in PTSD suicide rate among veterans in VA care, 2001-2022
VA National Suicide Prevention Report, 2024
The data is unambiguous. Veterans are dying at nearly double the civilian suicide rate. The majority receive no treatment. Standard therapies fail 30 to 50 percent of those who do access care. Ketamine therapy, delivered by board-certified physicians in a private and compassionate setting, has demonstrated the ability to produce rapid, meaningful relief for the conditions that are killing veterans.
Florida State Recognition
$1,034,995
in proposed state funding for veteran ketamine therapy
The Florida Senate Appropriations Committee on Health and Human Services has proposed $1,034,995 in General Revenue funding (FY 2026-2027) for “Controlled Ketamine Therapy and Neurobiological Restoration Treatments for Veterans” (Row 231, LFIR #1882, Department of Veterans' Affairs).
Ketamine therapy for veterans is no longer on the fringe. It is being actively funded at the state government level. Arcane sits precisely where Florida's legislative priorities and veteran need converge.

Document and share clinical outcomes data with VA partners to contribute to the growing evidence base for ketamine therapy in veteran populations.
South Florida VA Liaison
Establish relationships with VA medical centers in Miami, West Palm Beach, and the surrounding region to facilitate warm referrals and care coordination.
Advocacy
Actively support legislative and policy efforts to expand veteran access to ketamine and psychedelic-assisted therapies at the federal level.

Medical Infrastructure
The hard part is
already done.

Board-certified MD oversight on all infusion protocols.
Credentialed CRNA team enabling seamless mobile in-home service across South Florida.
Rigorous safety protocols: medical screening, real-time vitals monitoring, post-infusion supervision.
Compliance-ready operations structured for discreet, deliberate expansion.
