SAN JUAN VA MEDICAL CENTER VHA operates one of the largest health care systems in the world and provides training for a majority of America’s medical, nursing, and allied health
professionals. Roughly 60% of all medical residents obtain a portion of their training at VA hospitals and our medical research programs benefit society at-large. Today’s VHA has roots
spanning over 150 years and continues to meet Veterans’ changing medical, surgical, and quality of life needs. New programs provide treatment for traumatic brain injuries, post-traumatic
stress disorder, suicide prevention, women Veterans, and more. In recent years VHA has opened more outpatient clinics, established telemedicine, vet centers, and suicide prevention hotlines,
and developed other services to accommodate a diverse and ever-changing Veteran population. VHA continually evolves and cultivates on-going cutting-edge medical research and innovation to
improve the lives of America’s patriots. With an operational budget of approximately $600 million, the VACHS is a system of care for veterans, consisting of a tertiary care medical center
located in San Juan, Puerto Rico and ten outpatient clinics located throughout Puerto Rico (Arecibo, Ceiba, Comerio, Guayama Mayaguez, Ponce, Utuado, Vieques) and the USVI (St. Croix, St.
Thomas).
