Celebrating 4 years of healing, hope, and whole-person care 💙

The Carrillo Kern Center for Integrative Therapies at Sentara Brock Cancer Center was made possible through generous donations in memory of Jeanne Carrillo and David Kern. Since April 20, 2022, the center has helped us fulfill our promise to support patients and their families - mind, body, and spirit - through every step of the cancer journey.

From acupuncture and massage therapy to art and music therapy, the center offers a wide range of services designed to promote comfort, resilience, and healing. Patients can also access programs like mindfulness meditation, yoga, tai chi, integrative nutrition, peer mentoring, pet therapy, and even equine and garden therapy.

These services go beyond treatment, helping patients find strength, connection, and peace during some of life’s most challenging moments.

Here’s to four years of compassionate, integrative care, and many more to come.

Sentara Health is proud to celebrate a record-breaking achievement, earning nine Healthcare Heroes awards! 🏆 This annual recognition highlights the exceptional people, programs, and life-changing care happening across our region.

Among the inspiring honorees:

💙 Harold Farley, an 84-year-old Navy veteran, turned his personal journey into a mission of service. After surviving prostate cancer at the Sentara Brock Cancer Center, a place he once passed daily while visiting his late wife’s grave, Harold became the center’s longest-serving volunteer. Today, he’s a familiar, comforting presence for patients navigating their own cancer journeys. As he shared, “Without a doubt this is the most gratifying thing I've ever done, being able to give back.”

🤝 Kevin Johnson saw a need and took action. Frustrated by the lack of support groups for men facing cancer, he co-founded a local chapter of Man Up to Cancer with support from the Sentara Brock Cancer Center. What started with just eight men has grown into a powerful community of more than 30, offering connection, encouragement, and hope. “It gives them hope,” Johnson said, and that impact earned him a Healthcare Heroes award.

These stories are just a glimpse of the compassion, resilience, and dedication that define Sentara Health. Congratulations to all of this year’s Healthcare Heroes! 👏

Spring is here... and what better time to get outside and move more? New research shows the biggest health boost comes from 7,000–9,000 steps a day, with benefits continuing up to around 10,000 steps for heart health and overall wellness.

Make daily walks or active breaks part of your routine to lower disease risk and boost energy all season long. 🚶‍♀️💪

Eating healthy on a budget can be tough, but the solution might be simpler than you think: check your freezer aisle! ❄️🥕

Erin Miller of WTKR News 3 recently learned from Shaye Arluk, our registered dietitian, that frozen fruits and vegetables are picked at peak ripeness and flash-frozen, helping lock in nutrients that fresh foods can lose over time. Not only are they just as nutritious, but they also last much longer, helping you cut down on food waste and save money.

Did you know? We waste about 40% of the food we buy. Using frozen options can seriously stretch your grocery dollars. 💸

Most of us aren’t getting enough fruits and veggies each day (the goal is 7–10 servings!), but frozen options make it easier, and more affordable, to get there. For example, frozen berries are often cheaper than fresh and can even have more vitamin C.

🛒 Smart tips for eating healthy on a budget:
• Choose frozen fruits and veggies to save money and reduce waste
• Look for simple ingredients, avoiding added sauces, butter, or excess salt
• Take advantage of meat sales and freeze what you don’t use right away
• Try budget-friendly proteins like canned beans and lentils
• Build balanced meals with protein + whole grains + fruits & veggies

Healthy eating doesn’t have to break the bank, it just takes a little planning! 💚
