Seeking a contact at Walter Reed or other Mil Rehab hospital
If anyone has a contact for a (dot)Mil at a rehab hospital could you pass it along? We produce some very interesting software which allows humans to read at up to 2000 words per minute from computer screens. It also has the great side effect of being able to help those who are either bed-ridden, or visually impaired, with reading.

Basically what happens is the software breaks the text into words and shows them to you on the screen one word at a time. You can set colors and font size and speed and such. So a guy in the bed can read at any pace desired without eye strain and without having to hold up a book or laptop. So the computer screen can be several feet to yards away depending on font size.

What we want to do is to donate software licenses to military rehab hospitals for use by our guys stuck in bed or needing the visual assist. We have tried the regular front door route so far and gotten no call backs. They are hugely understaffed and this is a screwy thing that takes some getting used to, so this lack of response is understandable.

I was hoping that perhaps one of the 6 degrees of separation would/could be invoked to get me a name/email/phone number for a decision maker/doctor who could/would receive the software and put it to use on site.

If anyone could help, much positive karma will flow your way.

Thanks. Programming today and cleaning out the pickup truck so the wife can take some flowers up to Seattle for a wedding but will check back in later this evening.
