Happy St. Patrick’s Day, South Jersey! ☘️

To celebrate, our Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes radiology ultrasound team got decked out in green scrubs along with their official department mascot, Goose Willis!

Now, it should be said that this team wears green every single day… but hey, today it just feels a little more festive.

Your kidneys are basically the unsung heroes of your body. They’re brilliant multitaskers, quiet workhorses, behind-the-scenes MVPs, and your body’s ultimate clean-up crew. And our very own nephrologist, Dr. Brett Rosenthal, breaks down some amazing facts about these powerful fist-sized organs!

Some moments in health care go far beyond medicine.

Last October, our MedCom team coordinated a complex transport so a patient could visit his mother at Virtua Voorhees Hospital while she was in the ICU under hospice care. Because he required constant oxygen, the visit required careful planning and teamwork across departments.

Before seeing her son, the mother had one simple request: to have her hair brushed — a small act of dignity before their final goodbye.

Thanks to the compassion and determination of this team, mother and son were able to share that moment together.

Congratulations to our MedCom colleagues—recipients of the WE Care Compassionately Award—for going above and beyond when it mattered most.

But in all honesty, we get really, really excited about removing polyps during a colonoscopy.

Colonoscopies are one of the most powerful tools we have to prevent colorectal cancer. During the procedure, doctors can spot and remove precancerous polyps before they ever have the chance to turn into cancer—often stopping the disease before it even starts.

In honor of Colon Cancer Awareness Month, there’s never been a better time to schedule your colonoscopy and stay ahead of your health. Check to see if you’re eligible here: https://bit.ly/4rqP5yU

Hello sunshine! Dr. Campagnolo takes the open road, supporting future generations of physicians.

Long-time Virtua family medicine physician and geriatrician, Mary Campagnolo, MD, has left this winter behind and officially begun an 8-week cycling journey from sunny San Diego to St. Augustine with a special goal in mind: to advance the education of family medicine physicians here in South Jersey.

Through her personal generosity, she recently established the Dr. Mary Campagnolo Fund for Excellence in Family Medicine Education to strengthen training and professional growth for residents in Virtua Health’s Family Medicine Residency Program. Now, she’s inviting her colleagues, friends, and the community she has served for more than 40 years to follow her journey and join her efforts.

Before you ever walk through our doors, you often hear a voice first.

That voice might belong to someone at the Virtua Access Center — the team helping schedule appointments, answer questions, and guide people through what can feel like overwhelming moments.

In our latest episode of “Here for Good: Inside Edition” podcast, Lia Simmons shares her journey from navigator to director of the Access Center — and the meaningful connections that shape every single call. She opens up about the resilience that fueled her growth, the compassion that guides her leadership, and how our Culture of WE shows up in ways big and small.

Say hello to Dr. Richa Thakkar, neurologist and multiple sclerosis specialist here at Virtua!

Dr. Thakkar was drawn to neurology by the incredible complexity of the nervous system — and how understanding that complexity can directly improve patients’ lives. She specializes in caring for people with multiple sclerosis, where long-term partnership and shared decision-making are essential.

Her approach to MS care is holistic, focusing on disease-modifying therapies, symptom management, and lifestyle factors — all tailored to what matters most in each patient’s daily life. Above all, she believes great care starts with listening. Because when patients feel heard, they feel supported.

“When it comes to treating people living with MS, there is more hope than ever,” says Dr. Thakkar. “Treatment options have advanced significantly, and together, patients and their care team can create a plan that fits their life — not the other way around.”

When she’s not caring for patients, you might find Dr. Thakkar hiking with her husband, playing with her oversized dog, or creating pottery on the wheel.

Strong. Smart. Compassionate. Unstoppable.

The women of Virtua bring all of that—and so much more—to the patients, colleagues, and communities we serve every day. Today, we celebrate their leadership, their impact, and the countless ways they lift others up.

Happy International Women’s Day to the incredible women of Virtua.

Did we have “women lifting up other women” on our 2026 bingo card? We absolutely did. But dang, did our Women of Virtua deliver.

A huge thank you to everyone who showed up for our Bingo Night, hosted by the Women of Virtua Colleague Community. The night was completely sold out and filled with laughter, camaraderie, and meaningful connections.

Even better, the evening supported an incredible cause. Proceeds benefited our Mobile Health & Cancer Screening Unit, which travels throughout Camden, Burlington, and Gloucester counties to bring potentially life-saving cancer screenings directly to the communities that need them most.

We’re not crying… you’re crying. 😭

After more than nine months in the NICU, baby Myla is finally heading home from Virtua Voorhees Hospital.

Born at just 24 weeks and weighing a little over 1 pound, Myla faced incredible challenges, including lung disease, severe anemia, and a congenital heart defect that required surgery. But thanks to our NICU team and neonatologists from the , Myla is thriving without the need for monitors or medical equipment.

But wait, this moment carries an extra layer of meaning... Myla’s mom was born prematurely and cared for by Virtua more than 30 years ago—by the very same clinicians who helped save her daughter’s life.

Congrats, Myla, for graduating from our NICU. We are so excited for this next chapter of your life to begin!

They say 10,000 steps a day is the goal. But with over 10,000 knee replacements under his belt, Dr. Scott Schoifet has made this goal possible over the course of his 30-year career.
