Secondary Support Center
Secondary Support Center : A VAMC that has been designated under the VA/DoD Contingency Plan to provide support to a VAMC Primary Receiving Center. This support could include the provision of staff and other resources, the acceptance of patient transfers from the PRC, and/or the assumption of other workload from the PRC. Under the plan the primary function of the SSC is to increase capacity within the PRC to be able to accept active duty military casualties in wartime. (VHA Emergency Management Guidebook 2005)
