Minority Veterans

Center for Minority Veterans (CMV)

The Center for Minority Veterans is the Department of Veterans Affairs model for inter-and intra-agency co-operation, to ensure all veterans receive equal service regardless of race, origin, religion, or gender.  We assist VA in executing its mission in the most equitable, efficient and humane way possible.  Dignity and an acceptable quality of life are the products we seek to deliver to ALL veterans no matter what their circumstance. 

Who Do We Serve?


The Center for Minority Veterans (CMV) was established by Public Law 103-446, in 1994.  Title 38, United States Code (USC), Section 317 reflects the current responsibilities of the CMV.  CMV serves as an advocate for minority Veterans by conducting outreach activities to promote the awareness and use of VA benefits and services. 

The VA Loma Linda Minority Veterans Program services all Veterans including:

•    African-Americans
•    Asian-Americans
•    Hispanic Americans
•    Native Americans
•    American Indians
•    Alaskan Natives
•    Native Hawaiians
•    Pacific Island Americans



Minority Veterans Programs Coordinators (MVPC)

The primary goal of this outreach initiative is to increase local awareness of minority Veteran related issues and develop strategies for increasing their participation in existing VA benefit programs for eligible Veterans.  Minority Veterans Program Coordinators are located at Regional Offices, Health Care Facilities and National Cemeteries and are responsible for:

  • Promoting the use of VA benefits, programs, and services by minority Veterans.
  • Supporting and initiating activities that educate and sensitize internal staff to the unique needs of minority Veterans.
  • Targeting outreach efforts to minority Veterans through community networks.
  • Advocating on behalf of minority Veterans by identifying gaps in services and make recommendations to improve service delivery within their facilities.
