The United States Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is the branch of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs that provides health care to honorably discharged veterans of the United States military. The VHA is the largest integrated health care system in the United States.

The health care provided by the VHA compares well[1] or better[2] than health care provided outside of the VHA.
