women’s history month

For Women's History Month, we share one family's multi-generational story of service and a legacy of care.

During Women’s History Month, we proudly recognize the women who not only served our nation in uniform, but who continue to serve by shaping the future of Veterans’ health care and policy.

At VA, we recognize that women’s health isn’t one-size-fits-all. Today—and throughout our history—we’ve supported advancements in health care and the women who have made it possible.
