WASHINGTON, D.C. — SDV INTERNATIONAL supports the nation’s most visible U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Centers (VAMC) in Washington, DC. After more than 11 experience supporting the VA nationwide, SDV INTERNATIONAL was awarded a 5-year contract to manage health information at the Washington, DC VAMC.
At a recent visit, SDV INTERNATIONAL’s President, Jason Roys, and CEO, Michael Perry, spent time with the Washington, DC VAMC Director, Michael Heimall, before our meeting its staff and VA partners. Michael Perry, Jason Roys and Mr. Heimall were filmed by television crews while touring the facility and discussing VA business. The footage may be included in a nationwide video to promote the VA’s services to veterans. As a service-disabled veteran, Michael Perry paid his first visit to the Washington, DC VAMC more than 20 years ago.
SDV INTERNATIONAL, and the more than 2,000 employees and volunteers of the Washington DC VA Medical Center take great pride in providing world-class health care to all Veterans in an environment that fosters compassion, commitment and service.
Our mission is to respect and serve our Nation's Veterans by honoring them with safe, quality and compassionate health care while offering service excellence at the Washington DC VAMC’s main facility and five community-based clinics (CBOCs) located in Ft.

The Medical Center also operates a Community Resource and Referral Center for homeless and at-risk Veterans which is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
