At CHKD, we are more than a hospital.
A Nurse's Story: Colleen Grose
Ask Colleen Grose, MSN, RN, CPN, how she became nurse manager of inpatient hematology oncology at CHKD and she’ll tell you “never in a million years did I think I would become the manager of the unit where my brother was once treated, at the hospital that saved his life. CHKD offers me endless opportunities to grow as a sister, a nurse, a role model, a friend, and now a leader. I am deeply grateful for the path that my life has taken and for this home away from home right in my back yard.”

Ask just about anybody in the region what CHKD is and they will say, "It's the children's hospital." In reality, it's much more. CHKD is a full-service health system serving southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. It is a collection of primary care physicians, pediatric specialists and pediatric surgeons. It has 50 locations (pictured: Oyster Point) stretching from Elizabeth City, NC, to Gloucester, VA. CHKD is a place where anyone in the health care industry can find a home.

The results speak for themselves.
