    We had the pleasure of hosting students from Franklin City Public Schools’ J.P. King Career and Technical Academy at Sentara Obici Hospital in Suffolk, Va.! 🙌 Ten high school students spent the day shadowing nurses, touring hospital departments, and seeing what it’s like to work in healthcare. From the OR to Radiology and the Family Maternity Center, they experienced the many rewarding roles that make a difference in patient care. Our team loved sharing their passion for healthcare with these future professionals, and we hope it inspires them to pursue careers in this vital field.

    We’re honored to share a breakthrough in ovarian cancer care for Hampton Roads! When Becky Kirby was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer, she became the first patient to receive Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) at Sentara Virginia Beach General Hospital. Thanks to this innovative treatment, Becky is now in remission and excited about the future. She donated a bell to her surgeon's office for patients to ring when they complete cancer treatment. HIPEC offers a life-extending option for women battling late-stage ovarian cancer for people in the Hampton Roads community. We’re so proud of our dedicated team and the incredible care they provide. 💛 Learn more about HIPEC here: https://bit.ly/4fgGeu9. #HIPEC #OvarianCancerAwareness #Breakthrough #Cancer #HealthcareInnovation
