Technological Advancements

Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center will offer the latest digital advancements and is future-ready, built to accommodate new innovations the minute they become available. From the start, patients will benefit from the technology-rich infrastructure. A full-time cardiac: catheterization lab will offer life-saving diagnostics and emergency procedures. Specialized surgery suites will support groundbreaking minimally invasive surgery. And the latest diagnostic imaging will be in place, including high-speed MRI, CT, and ultrasound.

Highly Skilled Physicians

In anticipation of the new hospital's debut, Sentara has added dozens of physicians to serve the needs of the community. These include specialists in heart care, nephrology, minimally invasive surgery, cancer care, obstetrics, orthopedics, and more. They're supported by experienced, trained teams all working to assure each patient the best possible result.

Innovations In Patient Safety

Hospital-wide systems assure the safest possible patient environment. These include computerized safeguards to verify the accuracy and dosage of each prescription, and to check for drug-to-drug interactions. Electronic nursing notes give caregivers access to up-to-the-minute patient data anywhere in the hospital. And the eICU connects critically ill patients with uninterrupted care from highly specialized Intensivist physicians.

A Patient-Centered Approach

A wealth of patient and family comforts will contribute to a positive healthcare experience. All rooms will be private, attractively decorated, and furnished with comfortable family areas. Soft lighting, music, artwork, and a chapel will support healing and overall well-being.
