Veterans' health care in the United States is separated geographically into 19 regions (numbered 1, 2, 4–10, 12 and 15–23) known as VISNs, or Veterans Integrated Service Networks, into systems within each network headed by medical centers, and hierarchically within each system by division level of care or type. This article lists VA VISN facilities by region, location, and type.
VA medical facilities and Vet Centers are run by the Veterans Health Administration of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.

There are currently 152 VA Medical Centers and approximately 1,400 community-based outpatient clinics in the US. Facilities types (level of care types) are listed in the VISN tables below as:
