Network Asks Employees: How Do You Improve Health Every Day?
“I improve health every day by implementing programs that support grateful patients and major gift donations to the Sentara Health Foundation. The work we do and the extra resources we secure help Sentara provide the latest medical advancements and the best, most innovative care to the community.”

“I improve health every day by helping our retirees stay connected with Sentara through a program called Retiree Connect, established by the Sentara Health Foundation in partnership with Sentara Human Resources. We hold two events annually and produce a newsletter to keep retirees in touch with Sentara news. We also offer a retiree identification card so they can continue to get discounts on the same products and services they did as employees. The program helps retirees feel special and know that Sentara really does value and appreciate them and their years of service. We also established the Sentara Legacy Society to further healthcare excellence.”
