Company description "Sentara Health"
Overview:
For 125 years, Sentara has been committed to helping people just like you, people who want the most dedicated medical professionals helping them through every stage of life. To provide a range of quality care, we have grown slowly throughout Virginia and North Carolina. We have reached out to industry leaders and joined forces, and we now operate more than 100 sites of care, including 11 acute care hospitals, seven in Hampton Roads, one in Northern Virginia, two in the Blue Ridge region of Virginia and one in southern Virginia. For more than a decade, Modern Healthcare magazine has ranked us as one of the nation's top integrated healthcare systems. Our not-for-profit system proudly includes advanced imaging centers, nursing and assisted-living centers, outpatient campuses, physical therapy and rehabilitation services, home health and hospice agency, a 3,800-provider medical staff, and four medical groups. In addition, we provide medical transport ambulances and Nightingale air ambulance, and extend health insurance to 450,000 people through Optima Health, our award-winning health plan.Among our many strengths, we are a national leader in heart and kidney care, stroke care, and infection prevention, and we were the first in the nation to pioneer and develop the eICU, a remote monitoring system for intensive care. Our dedication to improving and increasing medical options for our patients is reinforced by our ongoing participation in national and international research. These vital medical trials help us advance toward our mission of improving health every day.
At only five words long, the mission of Sentara Healthcare is easy to remember: We improve health every day. While some may see this as our simple goal, we extend it as our promise. Whether it’s a patient who has called one of our Sentara Medical Group providers for help with a chronic illness, someone who needs emergency care at one of our hospitals, or a community member whose first encounter with Sentara is at a free health screening, we want to help everyone.As a not-for-profit, integrated healthcare system, we focus on giving back to those we serve. We reinvest income from operations back into meeting our community’s health needs and improving our care. Each year, we donate uncompensated care for those who need it most, doing what we can for those without financial resources and ensuring they receive the same medical guidance and treatment as other patients, regardless of their ability to pay. Since our earliest days, we have led the way by investing in innovative techniques, collaborations and procedures. Innovation happens in different ways, beyond our care centers’ walls, too, as we partner with community organizations who find unique ways to educate and treat those who might never know Sentara otherwise. Through our foundations, we fund groups who work directly with individuals needing medical care and information on how to improve their own health.
