Along with VHA leaders throughout the Nation, senior leaders at VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System signed the MyVA Access Declaration on April 21, 2016.

MyVA Access is a Veterans Health Administration (VHA) initiative that focuses on our people, our tools, and our systems to provide timely, Veteran-centered access to health care and ultimately puts Veterans in control of how, when, and where they wish to be served. By signing the declaration, many VA leaders and frontline staff accepted the call to action and reaffirmed their commitment to VHA's core mission.
