Join the Defense Health Agency (DHA) and work alongside dedicated civilian and military healthcare professionals at facilities across the United States and around the world.

As part of the U.S. Department of Defense, the Defense Health Agency employs civilian healthcare professionals who are committed to delivering high-quality, compassionate care to military service members and their families.
