How often do you get to see EMS and trauma teams working together inside an OR? 👀 Our trauma team at Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center recently completed its third year of hands-on training with over 90 paramedics and EMTs from across the region. 🚑

Together, they practiced stabilizing injured patients, performing critical interventions in the field, and improving survival outcomes during transport. The goal? Equip EMS teams to deliver life-saving care when every second counts. 💪⏱️

Safety is at the heart of everything we do.

Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center has installed a new weapons detection system at its main hospital entrance to help ensure a safe and healing environment for all patients, visitors, and staff.

The system detects fi****ms, knives, and other weapons and is monitored by trained Sentara security officers. Visitors have already shared positive feedback, noting that the added security brings peace of mind when entering the hospital.

Sentara has now implemented weapons detection at all 17 Emergency Departments and is rolling out similar systems across all 12 hospital main entrances by early 2026.

Not all breast cancers are the same.

A diagnosis can feel overwhelming—but understanding the type of breast cancer you or a loved one has can make all the difference.

Dr. Andrea Merrill, breast surgeon at Sentara Breast Surgery Specialists, breaks down the different types of breast cancer—like hormone-positive, HER2-positive, triple-negative, and inflammatory breast cancer—and how they impact treatment decisions.

“Each diagnosis is unique, and so is the path to healing,” says Dr. Merrill.

If you’ve been diagnosed or know someone who has, knowledge is power. Learn more about how personalized care leads to better outcomes. https://bit.ly/40Xpsvv
