Grateful for Rivers Casino Portsmouth’s incredible support of the Advance: Mobile Mammography Campaign! Together, we’re making preventive breast cancer screenings more accessible & strengthening our community. 💙

Thank you to Rivers Casino Portsmouth for supporting the Advance: Mobile Mammography Campaign! Bon Secours Hampton Roads Foundation is grateful to be the beneficiary of Rivers' October Round-Up. Thanks to a matching grant, this gift – along with all gifts in 2026 up to $200,000 - will bring us even closer to making this vital resource a reality.

Mobile Mammography meets women where they are. It reduces barriers to preventive care by providing access to 15-minute, potentially life-saving breast cancer screenings. This is particularly important for communities like ours where rates are higher and access to care can be a challenge.

We appreciate Rivers Gives and their commitment to strengthening communities through health and human services. https://www.facebook.com/RiversCasinoPortsmouth

Flu activity is on the rise in the Hampton Roads area. To keep everyone safe, area hospitals are reinforcing masking and prevention measures for all with respiratory symptoms—even if you’ve had your flu shot.

Patients with flu-like symptoms, such as coughing, sneezing, fever, or a runny nose, are required to wear a mask and notify the front desk upon arrival at provider offices, urgent care centers and emergency departments. This requirement applies even if the patient has received their annual flu vaccine.

Patients who need medical care should not delay treatment due to symptoms. Masks will be provided as needed, and care teams will guide patients on the next steps upon arrival.

While vaccination remains the most effective way to reduce the risk of severe illness from the flu, it is not 100 percent effective. Individuals who are vaccinated can still contract and spread the virus. Masking when symptoms are present provides an additional layer of protection.

Additional steps to limit the spread of the flu include frequent hand washing, staying home when sick, covering coughs and sneezes and getting an annual flu vaccine. Patients can keep emergency rooms open for critical cases by choosing primary care or urgent care for flu and respiratory symptoms.

As health care providers, our shared goal is to protect the health of the communities we serve. Individuals infected with the flu can spread the virus before symptoms are fully apparent, making awareness and early precautions critical.

Patients and visitors experiencing flu-like symptoms are encouraged to consider postponing non-essential visits to hospitalized loved ones when possible. Common flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle aches, chills, fatigue and, in some cases, vomiting or diarrhea.

This flu-related masking guidance will remain in effect as long as flu activity remains elevated in the region.

Dr. Rau believes the best care starts with really knowing the person, not just looking at a chart.

As a family medicine physician, her journey has just begun after completing her Master's of Public Health and medical residency; however, her passion is already clear: outpatient family medicine provides her with the opportunity to partner with patients over time, build trust and create realistic plans for long-term health.

With a strong interest in nutrition, lifestyle, environment and overall wellness, Dr. Rau approaches care as a collaboration, working alongside patients to understand what matters most to them.

Outside the clinic, you'll find her enjoying the outdoors, travelling and discovering great food with friends, because living well matters just as much as staying well.

Feeling grateful for the community spirit that made our celebration unforgettable! We recently had the pleasure of hosting a celebration with 30 adults and 20 children, representing 15 families who enjoyed a magical gathering filled with joy and heartfelt blessings. Santa even came and passed out presents, bringing smiles to all!

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the parishioners of St. George’s Episcopal Church and Gwen Appleton, with the MIH Angel Tree Project, for their generosity and support. Together, we created lasting memories and smiles for all.

A very special thank you to Nikki Bacilio (Community Service Board), Lily Mattos (Peninsula Agency on Aging), our amazing staff, and their family members who stepped in to ensure that every child received two outfits and a toy to open on Christmas morning.

We are also deeply grateful to Phyllita, who made it possible for each family to receive a ham and a box of food from Operation Blessing. This special blessing meant a great deal to the parents and brought comfort and joy to each household.

The families were truly appreciative of everything they received, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who helped make this event such a meaningful and memorable experience. 💙🎄
