schools, and numerous parks, the Augusta area is a great place to call home; in fact, Money Magazine named the nearby suburb of Evans as the “best place to live in America” in 2020 and U.S.

News and World Report ranked Augusta as the top metro area to live and retire in Georgia. As home to The Masters, Augusta is also the golf capital of the world and is a short drive from

major sports venues in Atlanta and nearby college powerhouses the University of Georgia and Clemson University. In less than a few hours, one can be to the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean, the

historic cities of Savannah and Charleston, or the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina. Local outdoor recreation abounds, also, such as the Serene 18 Paddle Trail. And if a

vibrant music scene is more your tune, Augusta has produced giants such as master of soul James Brown, opera legend Jessye Norman, and country band Lady A; future stars perform live music

locally each week, often at some of the more than 100 restaurants and breweries across the region. Plus, Aiken, South Carolina was named "best small town in the South" by Southern

Living Magazine in 2018. Aiken his known for many things including equine pursuits, the arts, sporting facilities, nature, and even playing a part in our country's railroad birth and

our fight in the cold war era. For more information, please visit our About Us section.  About Us | VA Augusta Health Care | Veterans Affairs
