Customer Service

The VA New Jersey Health Care System strives to always provide the highest quality of care to the veterans of our nation. We recognize there may be times when a patient or family member has an issue which requires our attention. Because the best time to let us know of any concern or question is at the time it happens so we can resolve it as quickly as possible, we have established several programs to assist you.
