Detroit VA Medical Center

Welcome to the VA Detroit page! Since 1939, this VA facility has been improving the health of the men and women who have proudly served our nation.

In 1996, the medical center was moved from Allen Park, Michigan to the current location in Detroit. The John D. Dingell VAMC is one of the newest VA facilities in the country. We consider it our privilege to serve the health care needs of our Veterans in any way we can. Services are available to more than 330,000 Veterans living in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and St. Clair counties. This population represents approximately46 percent of the Veteran population in the lower peninsula of Michigan.

Today, June 14, 2025, marks a monumental occasion: the 250th Birthday of the United States Army! 🇺🇸

Since its founding in 1775, even before the nation itself, the Army has been the steadfast guardian of our freedom, democracy, and way of life. From the Revolutionary War to present-day missions, their unwavering dedication, resilience, and strength have shaped our history and protected our future.

The theme for this historic anniversary, "This We'll Defend," powerfully echoes the commitment of every Soldier, past and present, to upholding their oath and serving our nation.

To all our Army Veterans, active-duty Soldiers, and their families here in Detroit and across the nation – thank you for 250 years of extraordinary service and sacrifice. Your courage and commitment are the bedrock of our liberty.

The Detroit VA is immensely proud to serve those who have served us so valiantly. Happy 250th Birthday, U.S. Army!
