Since 1939, this VA facility has been improving the health of the men and women who have so proudly served our nation.  In 1996, the medical center was  moved from Allen Park, Michigan to the current location in Detroit.  The John D. Dingell VAMC located in Detroit, Michigan is one of the newest VA facilities in the country. We consider it our privilege to serve your health care needs in any way we can. Services are available to more than 330,994 veterans living in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and St. Clair  counties.  This population represents approximately forty-four percent of the veteran population in the lower peninsula of Michigan.
