The Heart of the Matter

Heart disease is widespread in Hampton Roads, and Chesapeake Regional Healthcare is responding to the needs of the Southside. We plan to bring fully comprehensive cardiovascular services to our medical center with the addition of a state-of-the-art cardiovascular operating room. First, we need state approval. 

Here’s how you can help

1. Send a letter

Write a letter describing why you support CRH’s open heart surgery application. Include any positive experiences you’ve had at CRH and/or personal heart disease related stories and information.
 
Address to:
Norman Oliver, MD, MA, State Health Commissioner
State Health Commissioner
Virginia Department of Health
P.O. Box 2448
Richmond, VA 23218
 

2. Encourage your friends, family members and neighbors to send letters, too!

3. Spread the word via social media.

Copy the link to this page: https://info.chesapeakeregional.com/chesapeake-open-heart-copn-request and share it on your favorite social media account. Be sure to add why you think open heart surgery should come to Chesapeake.
