DHA Hack for Health 2026
02/24/2026 - 02/25/2026 | Fort Sam Houston, TX | United States
Build fixes, not workarounds. Join us at our next DHA Hackathon!
As DHA continues to modernize healthcare delivery for service members, veterans, and their families, we are challenging teams to create innovative automation that improves efficiency, strengthens security, and supports better health outcomes across the enterprise.
Hack for Health is a DHA-specific hackathon built in partnership with Red Hat. This event is dedicated time to have fun while being creative and innovative! It will be two days in-person to work through automation with lunch, and swag to be won!
Hack for Health will take place at DHA in-person from February 24-25th, and team submissions will be judged by DHA leadership on February 25th. Judging will be based on innovation, impact on healthcare delivery, mission readiness, and other factors.
