The Memphis Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) is grateful to the men and women who risk their lives to fight terrorism in Afghanistan, Iraq and many other places around the world.

Memphis VAMC has developed a special team called the Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) Team to serve the Veterans who participated in this campaign. Each Veteran initially has 5 years of health care and 180 days to apply for dental care at the VA after discharge or retirement.

Our aim is to assist with the transition of Soldiers from the military into the VAMC for health care and coordination of benefits. We have developed specialized programs, clinics, counseling, and outreach activities to help reintegrate each Soldier back into his or her community.
