The Environment (Not Just the Philosophy)

If you’ve practiced specialty medicine long enough, you know culture isn’t what’s written on a website. It’s what you feel on a random Wednesday at 2:30 pm. We pay attention to our team. At VHA, the environment is intentionally built, not just clinically, but physically. 

Between cases, you can:

• Step outside onto the Party Patio and decompress with colleagues Grab a fresh meal or coffee at our on-site Dog Dayz Café
•         Take ve minutes in the OpenSeed Meditation Pod when a case weighs heavier than expected
• Use our team-exclusive tness center
• Participate in our VHAt community events
•      If you’re relocating, utilize on-site housing to make the transition smooth instead of stressful
