Be Involved in Your Health Care

No one wants what's best for our patients more than we do. We strive every day to provide the best patient care possible and to deliver the most promising treatments and outcomes.

To that end, and in keeping with a nationwide effort, Sentara has launched a systemwide initiative keenly focused on patient safety.

Sentara's strategy, like that of other leading health care organizations, is to take a three-pronged approach, simultaneously:

implementing major system solutions, such as new technology

implementing minor systems, such as actions targeted at a specific issue

changing organizational culture in the hospital inpatient, nursing home, medical office and home health care settings
