Mission Statement
The religious mission of this healthcare system is meeting the spiritual/religious needs of veterans. At certain moments in life or death, religion becomes important. Those needs differ depending on a person's faith tradition. In particular terms in a pluralistic world this means major faith groups (Roman Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and Eastern Orthodox) representation on staff. Our goal is meeting veteran's spiritual concerns.
