What is centralized content?

The Vet Center sites are designed so that certain pieces of content are the same on every Vet Center site nationwide. By standardizing certain kinds of information and parts of the design, Veterans get more accurate information and a consistent VA.gov experience.

Only Vet Center national editors can edit centralized content. Centralized content appears in these parts of the Vet Center page:

 

1. Hours details
