US Veterans Health Administration
Under the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) operates one of the largest healthcare delivery systems in the world. The system consists primarily of centralized comprehensive medical centers, most of which are affiliated with university medical schools, complemented and supplemented by an extensive network of outpatient clinics and readjustment counseling centers, as well as nursing homes and domiciliaries. Eligibility for most DVA benefits is based on discharge from active military service under honorable conditions.
