We are incredibly proud to celebrate Teresita Hammond, BSN, RNC-OB, who was recently recognized with the Champion for Children’s Health Award for her exceptional work in advancing health equity by the Consortium for Infant and Child Health (CINCH). 🏆

With her steadfast dedication to improving health equity and breaking down barriers for patients and their families, Teresita is making a meaningful difference that expands outside of our maternity center's walls and into the Hampton Roads community.

Teresita, thank you for being a champion for inclusive, patient-centered care. This honor is so well-deserved!

What does reckless driving look like from the other side? 🚗

Three young men arrested for driving 100 mph recently found out — not through a lecture, but by walking the halls of our trauma department and burn/trauma ICU, and listening as our chaplain described telling a family their loved one didn't make it.

This was the first group to experience GRACY Hampton Roads: Get Real About Choices & Consequences for You. Our trauma center is proud to partner with VCU Health to bring this program to our community, designed for individuals referred by the court system or even their own families.🤝

Helping people make better choices. Preventing the trauma before it happens. That's the goal.💙

Solidarity Week was started in 2011 by the Gold Humanism Honor Society, a national honor society that recognizes medical students, residents, fellows, and physicians who demonstrate kind, trusting, and compassionate care for their patients.

Held each year around Valentine’s Day, this special week highlights the powerful role that trust and compassion play in improving patient outcomes.
Fourth-year medical students from Eastern Virginia Medical School take part by connecting with patients beyond the medical needs that bring them to the hospital, building meaningful relationships, listening to their stories, and sharing moments of human connection.

Because medicine is more than treatment - it’s compassion in action. 💙

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. ❤️🫀

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! ❤️ 🏥
