VA NY/NJ Veterans Healthcare Network

The VA NY/NJ Veterans Healthcare Network has been named one of the nation's MOST WIRED, according to the Most Wired Survey and Benchmarking Study released by Hospitals & Health Networks magazine.

Primary care is emphasized at the VANJHCS. Veterans are assigned their own health care providers whom they see on a regular basis with additional access to a wide variety of specialists. In addition to general medical, psychiatry, and long-term care, a full range of medical and surgical subspecialty care is provided to veterans of the VANJHCS. Because the VANJHCS is dedicated to developing programs that meet all veterans' needs, teams of physicians, nurses, therapists, social workers and others all work together to develop programs of distinction that become models for the health care field.

The System's Diabetes Education, Pulmonary Rehabilitation, Prosthetics, Homeless Outreach Programs, and others have been recognized for outstanding achievement both within the Department of Veterans Affairs and the general health care community. A recognized leader in research, the VANJHCS maintains an active research program with over 60 investigators conducting pioneering work in areas such as infectious disease, cardiovascular disease, and the health effects of smoking. The East Orange Campus was selected as one of two new research centers that are looking at ways to care for active duty patients and veterans with war-related illnesses.
