Friends of VA Medical Care and Health Research (FOVA)

Friends of VA Medical Care and Health Research (FOVA) is a diverse coalition of more than 75 national academic, medical and scientific societies, voluntary health and patient advocacy associations and industry that advocate appropriate funding for the health programs that serve the nation’s veterans. Among its many activities, FOVA members regularly brief members of Congress on the funding needs of health care and research at the Department of Veterans (VA), raise awareness of VA’s medical care and research programs, and host special events that highlight VA research successes.
