Veterans Affairs

Our Veterans Affairs team of health care providers from across the department’s subspecialties are dedicated to advancing patient care, research and education efforts at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System. Key areas include: 

  • Ensuring that Veterans have access to high-quality care and treatment
  • Improving patient outcomes and reducing hospital readmissions
  • Exploring telemedicine options and how to best utilize to overcome some of the challenges Veterans face, including accessing the internet or having their own devices
  • Conducting transformative research that will improve quality of life for our Veterans

We are also focused on growth and continue to expand our clinical programs and reach out to Veterans who need care. We are ranked #4 in the country (out of 171 VAs) in inpatient Veteran satisfaction nationwide.

We have a committed executive leadership team that has invested in the tripartite mission. I am especially grateful to our first-line care teams who have continued to provide superb and compassionate Veteran-centered care to an extremely deserving and immensely grateful patient population.”
