“According to my greatest ability and judgment, I will do no harm or injustice to them.” The Hippocratic Oath.

First, Do No Harm: Durham VA’s Commitment to Patient Safety

Continuing its legacy of innovation, the Durham VA Health Care System (DVAHCS) once again stands at the forefront of medical advancement, as its Cardiac Cath Lab performed the Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA) first VARIPULSE catheter ablation procedure on June 26, 2025. 

Durham VA Cath Lab Helps Veterans Get Their Rhythm Back

I’ve Been Lucky All My Life

At the Durham VA Health Care System, our health care teams are deeply experienced and guided by the needs of Veterans, their families, and caregivers. Find a health facility near you and manage your health online. Sign up for community events and updates.
