The future of Internal Medicine at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center has arrived. We are thrilled to announce our 2026 Match Results!

Please join us in officially welcoming our newest cohort of Inaugural Internal Medicine residents to the Sentara family.

Matching into residency is the culmination of years of dedication, late-night studying, and unwavering commitment to patient care. We are honored that these talented physicians chose to begin their professional journey with us.

As we prepare for their arrival this July, we aren't just adding staff—we are adding future leaders, innovators, and compassionate clinicians who will help shape the culture of our program.

We congratulate the five recipients of Prince William Living’s 2026 Influential Women Award, presented earlier this month. The award celebrates women making an impact in our community.

Among the honorees is Dr. Rebecca Sinclair, an internal medicine physician with extensive leadership in expanding access to care, developing health programs, and improving community health outcomes.

“Rebecca Sinclair is not only an accomplished physician and leader, but she is also a true force for good in our community. Her work goes far beyond providing medical care. She brings hope and dignity to those who need it most and leads with compassion and integrity,” said SNVMC Chief Medical Officer Debra Lee, M.D.

Congratulations to Dr. Sinclair and the other distinguished recipients of the 2026 Influential Women Award.

Every spring, we conduct an Emergency Preparedness Mass Casualty Exercise in collaboration with Prince William County Fire and Rescue and the Northern Virginia Emergency Response System. This year’s exercise, held today, gave the teams at SNVMC & Sentara Lake Ridge and our local EMS a valuable opportunity to practice for a mass casualty event.

Thank you to the many volunteers who stepped up to be our patients, to our local first responders, and all those across the hospital who took the opportunity to learn and prepare for such events. Preparation and training across our teams happens throughout the entire year and we always learn something helpful.

More than 1,600 high school students from 8 Northern Virginia school divisions participated in the 2026 Instruction to Industry (i2i) Future Ready Conference held on March 11 & 12.

Team members from Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center were on hand, in partnership with colleagues from Inova Health and Virginia Ed Strategies, to offer a valuable forum highlighting the wide range of career paths available in healthcare.

Our team had meaningful conversations, shared personal stories and offered guidance to these students and encouraged them to explore a future career in healthcare.

Thanks to all those who shared their time, expertise, and enthusiasm to help inspire the next generation of healthcare professionals and strengthen our community's workforce.

We value the dedication and skill of all our nurses - and on March 19, we proudly recognize those who have achieved specialty board certification in honor of Certified Nurses Day. This day celebrates the expertise, commitment, and advanced knowledge of nurses who earn and maintain national certification in their specialties.

Certified nurses meet rigorous standards by passing comprehensive exams and committing to lifelong learning—demonstrating excellence in care for patients, families, and healthcare teams. Research shows that specialty certification is linked to improved patient outcomes and strengthens careers, teams, and community health.

Certified Nurses Day is observed each year on March 19, the birthday of Margretta “Gretta” Madden Styles, a pioneering leader in nurse credentialing and a driving force behind national certification standards and the American Nurses Credentialing Center.

Thank you to all our nurses as we celebrate Certified Nurses Day, your commitment helps us improve health every day!

Every spring, our Women's Health Center works to support healthy moms & babies and raise awareness by Marching for Babies at the annual March of Dimes walk in DC. 💜

As a "fun"-raiser this year, team members nominated their colleagues to wear the March of Dimes purple tutu for part of the day. The "March in a Tutu" fundraiser brought laughter, smiles, and raised money for this year's campaign.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who nominated a peer, participated, donated, cheered our nominees on, and helped make this event both successful and FUN. This support from across our team helps us continue raising awareness and funds to support healthy moms and babies everywhere.
