About AVAA

The Association of Veterans Affairs Anesthesiologists (AVAA) has served as an independent organization representing the voices of VA Anesthesiologists and our nation’s Veterans since 1991. Our mission is to provide members with timely up to date information on key issues affecting the practice of Anesthesiology in the Veterans Health System and advocate on their behalf. We are committed to ensuring the highest level of anesthesia care possible for our Veterans. We encourage you to join today. Together we are stronger.
