Delivering for the Warfighter
Our fifth DHA Director, Vice Adm. Darin K. Via, has set a new, warfighter-focused course for the military's vast health enterprise. "The Defense Health Agency, in its entirety, is a combat support agency," Via said.
“Everything we do…exists for one reason, and that is to support warfighter readiness.”
From the clinics to the front lines, the DHA steadfastly serves as a force multiplier through warfighter medical readiness. We are committed to supporting our joint force, delivering timely, high-quality care that keeps the human weapon system healthy, deployable, and lethal.
