Here is an interesting set of facts about our U.S. Veterans. 

VA is implementing a comprehensive national VA Dental Insurance Program (VADIP) to give enrolled Veterans and CHAMPVA beneficiaries the opportunity to purchase dental insurance through Delta Dental and MetLife at a reduced cost. Participation is voluntary. Purchasing a dental plan does not affect Veterans’ eligibility for VA dental services and treatment. VADIP opens November 15 for the purchasing of plans, with coverage beginning January 1, 2014.

Hines V A Hospital provides top quality care to Veterans. We have award winning physicians, and a work force that is incredibly committed to caring for Veterans. As the largest V A in the State, we are conveniently located 12 miles from downtown Chicago near Brookfield Zoo. VA also has 6 community based clinics throughout the surrounding counties to increase access to care where Veterans are located.  Read more here..
