At VA, we actively work to meet Veterans in their own communities and promote opportunities to live happy and healthy lives. With almost a quarter of all Veterans in the United States residing in rural communities, ensuring they receive quality health care close to home is more important than ever.

One such rural health facility is the Jack C. Montgomery VA Medical Center (VAMC) located in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Let’s revisit the Jack C. Montgomery VAMC to learn more about the facility and current career openings.

Jack C. Montgomery VA Medical Center

Located in Muskogee, which is the 13th largest city in Oklahoma, the Jack C. Montgomery VAMC is part of the Eastern Oklahoma VA Health Care System.

Today, the Jack C. Montgomery VAMC boasts a full range of health services provided, from audiology and endocrinology, to optometry and pain management. As of February 2025, 91% of Veteran patients report they can get an urgent primary care appointment when they need it.
