Our dedicated volunteers deliver your eGreeting
Volunteers deliver eGreetings to patients during normal business hours, Monday though Friday, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Messages received after 4 p.m. on these days, or anytime on Saturday or Sunday, will be delivered the next business day. We cannot deliver eGreetings to outpatients, employees, patients who have been discharged or patients in the emergency room.

Please Remember: The content of your eGreeting is not confidential and will be seen by a member of our volunteer staff. Please do not include confidential or sensitive information. We will make every attempt to see that the patient receives his or her eGreeting, but in some cases an eGreeting may be undeliverable, for various reasons, and will not be delivered. Sentara Bayside Hospital and Sentara Healthcare assume no responsibility for the delivery of eGreetings and assume no liability for the information contained in eGreetings.
In order to ensure that your eGreeting properly reaches your friend or loved one, it is important to include:

  • Your Full Name:
  • Patient First and Last Name (no surnames please):
  • Room Number (if known):
  • Personal Message:
You might also include the patient's favorite pet, place, etc. so we might further personalize the greeting.
