🚀 Faster labs. Better care.

We've launched a new state-of-the-art pneumatic tube system that’s transforming how quickly lab results reach our care teams. The upgraded system transports 1,300 lab specimens every day through a mile-and-a-half network of hospital tubing, improving both speed and accuracy.

While pneumatic tube systems aren’t new to hospitals, this advanced technology represents a significant upgrade — helping our teams deliver timely, high-quality care to patients when it matters most. 💙

Thank you to WTKR News 3 for going behind-the-scenes to feature our tube system. The link to coverage is in the comments.

A new concealed weapons detection system is now in place at our front entrance, the same system currently used at our Emergency Department entrance. All individuals entering through the front entrance will pass through the screening system.

This added layer of security helps ensure a safe, welcoming environment for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation as we continue to prioritize safety and care. 💙

All Sentara emergency departments are currently seeing a spike in visits for flu and respiratory illnesses.

If you're feeling sick with mild to moderate symptoms, you may not need the emergency department — and there are other options that can help you feel better sooner.

Even The Grinch couldn’t steal our Christmas joy! 🎄💚 He stopped by with some admirable attempts to cause mischief, but this hospital was bursting with too much holiday cheer for him to handle. Instead, The Grinch spent time visiting patients and staff, all under the watchful (and very prepared 👀) eyes of our security team.

Did he succeed at stealing anything? Well… he did manage to snag a cookie from one of the gingerbread houses competing for the top spot in this year’s contest. 🍪🏠 We’ll call that a small win for the Grinch.

Turns out, hearts (and spirits) grew three sizes that day! ❤️🎁

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S.—but early detection can save lives. Low-dose CT (LDCT) scans can find lung cancer at earlier, more treatable stages, yet only about 10% of eligible people get screened.

Who should get screened? You may qualify for LDCT if you:
• Are 50–80 years old
• Have a 20 pack-year smoking history
• Are a current smoker or quit within the last 15 years

Smoking is the #1 cause of lung cancer, but others include secondhand smoke, radon, air pollution, asbestos, and family history. Even people who never smoked can develop lung cancer.

Only 32% of hospitals nationwide earned an “A” in patient safety this fall, but Sentara Leigh Hospital has done it 28 times in a row. 💪 That makes us one of only 11 hospitals in the entire country to achieve this record of consistent excellence.

An "A" Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade recognizes the highest standards in patient safety. This means fewer preventable errors, shorter hospital stays, and more patients going home healthy.

We're so proud to be one of NINE Sentara Health hospitals to earn an "A" in Fall 2025. Thank you to our incredible team for your dedication to safer care and better outcomes for every patient, every day. ⭐
