Dr. Deepak Talreja knows a thing or two about Hands-Only CPR.

Not just because he’s the clinical chief of cardiology at Sentara… but because last year, when someone went into cardiac arrest and crashed their car outside his office, he stepped in to perform CPR.

Here’s the truth: most cardiac arrests happen outside of a hospital. Which means the first responder could be you.

Hands-Only CPR is simple:
1️⃣ Call 911
2️⃣ Push hard and fast in the center of the chest

Watch this video to see exactly how to perform Hands-Only CPR so you feel confident stepping in if the moment ever comes. You never know when you could be the one who helps save a life. ❤️🫀

➡️ Make an appointment at RedCrossBlood.org
➡️ Call 1-800-RED–CROSS
➡️ Spread the word and bring a friend

During , we're celebrating a major advancement in trauma and critical care!🩸

Our hospital is now using cold-storage platelets, a new blood product that works faster to stop bleeding and can be stored more than twice as long as traditionally stored platelets. For trauma victims, cancer patients, and those undergoing major surgery, this innovation is truly a game changer for improving outcomes.

A big thank you to our partners at American Red Cross Virginia Region and the generosity of blood donors who play a critical role in making this possible! ❤️ 🏥

Each year, our facilities team creates a special surprise just for our staff: a stunning holiday lights display along the walkway connecting the staff parking garage to the hospital. ✨🎄

With 30,000 twinkling lights, this festive, jolly (and yes, delightfully over-the-top!) path turns a simple walk into a magical journey, bringing back childhood wonder and the excitement of the season.

For 25 years, this tradition has been a heartfelt way to say thank you to the incredible staff who work long hours and give so much of themselves every day. It’s a small bright spot on the way in — or the way out — but one filled with appreciation and holiday spirit. 💙✨

This December marks one year since Virginia Beach's Katisha Vertrees received what she calls “the greatest gift of my life,” a kidney from an anonymous donor who stepped forward after seeing her story. 🎁

Before that, she was spending eight hours every night on dialysis, fighting the effects of lupus. Her family launched “Kidney 4 Katisha” in hopes that someone, somewhere, might be moved to act.

In a true season-of-giving moment, an anonymous donor came across the page and volunteered to be tested. She was a match. On December 13, 2024, Katisha received a successful transplant at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital, a life-changing gift that immediately restored her health and renewed her future.

Now, she shares a special bond with the woman who saved her life. Standing together next to the hospital Christmas tree, they celebrated more than an anniversary; they celebrated the gift of life, love, and a second chance. 💚

To our patients, staff, and everyone who helps make this season bright: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎁✨
