The VA’s Commitment to Helping Veterans with Lung Cancer
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) operates the nation's largest integrated health care system, with more than 1,700 hospitals, clinics, community living centers, and other facilities. In 2017, the U.S. veteran population totaled over 20 million. This includes people who have performed many types of military service under a variety of conditions. Unfortunately, American veterans are disproportionately affected by lung cancer, making lung cancer a major concern for many veterans and their families.
