The Search Is Over! Defense Health Agency Unveils findDHA — a Dynamic, Online Search Tool

By Defense Health Agency Communications

If you’ve ever asked, “Where on Earth is the Defense Health Agency?” the answer may surprise you. With hundreds of military hospitals and clinics, dental clinics, veterinary clinics, research facilities, and so much more, DHA’s footprint is large, spanning 44 U.S. states and territories and more than 10 countries worldwide. 

Now, there’s one place you can go to find a DHA facility: findDHA

DHA launched www.dha.mil, the agency’s official public website, in December 2024 as a joint endeavor between the DHA Director’s Communications and Public Affairs Division and the agency’s chief information officer’s Program Executive Office Medical System’s Web & Mobile Technology Program Management Office. The website has grown steadily since its launch. 

The new tool, unveiled in August 2025, allows users to search for all types of DHA locations around the globe. Finding a DHA facility has never been easier. 

You can also filter your search by Defense Health Network, TRICARE region, or keywords. The interactive mapping functionality lets you quickly find a location, link to a website, or click to call. 

“Innovation thrives on a strong foundation”, explained Alistair McLean, program manager, Web & Mobile Technology PMO. “Our team is dedicated to providing the hosting, sustainment, and backend support that keep this platform secure and reliable. We’re proud to ensure the stability that allows these features to reach and benefit users every day.” 

Telling the DHA story 

The website is the first of its kind for DHA. It’s easy to navigate and introduces DHA to all its audiences. 

“Our goal is to tell our story,” detailed Jessica Meyle, chief of communications operations and support for the DHA and functional owner of www.dha.mil. “The website is the official source of information about the agency, and we’ve built the site to tell our story in a creative way.” 

Users can visit DHA’s interactive timeline to learn about DHA’s rich history and key milestones as the agency continues to grow. Explore the site to learn about DHA’s current leaders and catch up on the latest DHA news and events

“Whether you already know about DHA or you’re just getting to know us, www.dha.mil is a great place to get started,” shared Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Tanya Y. Johnson, DHA senior enlisted leader.
