VA Central California Health Care System

OIF/OEF - VA Central California Healthcare System

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has collaborated with the Department of Defense (DOD) to seamlessly transition the health care of veterans returning from Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom.

The VA Central California Healthcare System is committed to our troops from Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom and ensuring that they have the health care and benefits they need. We can also provide priority health care and benefits assistance even if you are on active duty or an activated member of the National Guard or Reserve. View eligibility and enrollment requirements.
