VA US department of veteran Affairs

About

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is a federal agency dedicated to serving those who have served our nation. Our mission is to provide veterans and their families with the benefits, healthcare, and support they have earned through their service.

Our services are organized into three main administrations:

Veterans Health Administration (VHA): As the largest integrated healthcare system in the United States, VHA operates numerous medical centers and outpatient clinics nationwide, offering a wide range of medical services to veterans.

Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA): VBA manages various programs, including disability compensation, education assistance, home loan guarantees, life insurance, and vocational rehabilitation, to support veterans in their post-service lives.

National Cemetery Administration (NCA): NCA honors veterans and their families by providing dignified burial services and maintaining national cemeteries as lasting tributes to their service.

Our commitment extends beyond these services. We strive to adapt to the evolving needs of veterans, ensuring timely and effective support. Recent initiatives focus on expanding mental health services, addressing homelessness among veterans, and improving access to care in rural areas.

At the VA, we are guided by core values of integrity, commitment, advocacy, respect, and excellence. These principles drive us to continually enhance our services and uphold the trust placed in us by veterans and their families.

We are honored to serve those who have served our country and remain dedicated to fulfilling our mission with compassion and respect.
