Across the United States Government, no priority is more imperative than providing the highest-quality care to our nation’s Veterans, and the Department of Veterans Affairs is responsible for providing healthcare services to over 9 million veterans, making it the largest integrated healthcare network in the US.

IDGA recognizes the VA finds itself at a critical moment having to meet the challenges of the pandemic, shifting demographics, and the winding down of the Global War on Terror. For the past 18 years the VA Healthcare Summit has provided healthcare professionals an opportunity to discuss these changes as well as efforts to deliver telehealth and virtual care, electronic health records systems, and the use of new drugs and surgeries to VA care.

On July 23-24, over 700 attendees including VA clinicians, nurses and administrators as well as senior stakeholders, technology experts, and industry innovators, gathered in Arlington, Virginia to learn, share, and connect with our nation’s veterans to improve health outcomes, care access, and delivery. This report will highlight some of the takeaways from attendees and summarize important discussions held during the conference.

The VA Healthcare Summit annually brings together over 700 senior leaders, clinicians, nurses, administrators, and technology professionals from across the veterans' healthcare sector, to share ideas and strategies, network and collaborate on delivering the highest-quality care to the nation's veterans.
