Welcome to the Virginia Peninsula Chapter of Mended Hearts, Inc. Located in the Virginia's historic southeast peninsula, the chapter covers Newport News, Hampton, Poquoson, the triangle of Williamsburg, Jamestown, and Yorktown, as well as two communities off the peninsula: Smithfield and Gloucester.
February is Heart Month and it’s the month of valentines. It’s the month of displaying love of one another like no other. Have you made plans to display your love and admiration for the ones you love?
In addition, have you considered that Riverside Regional Medical Center is “the” medical facility on the Peninsula that can handle stroke and cardiac patients in an emergency capacity?
Our dedicated Mended Hearts volunteer visitors along with the nurses and doctors of this fine RRMC hospital provide dedicated and superlative service to the patients.
The Emergency Department and level II Trauma Center responds to more than 57,000 emergencies annually. Riverside’s ED/Trauma Center features 42 private rooms
and the prompt, efficient c
are and excellent quality one would expect.
From interventional cardiology to open heart surgery to cardiac rehabilitation, the heart Center puts the newest technologies into action every day. An expanding scope of services, mobile technologies and progressive thinking of talented cardiac physicians combine to bring unmatched excellence in heart medicine.
Help us comfort the patients and inform them that they are in the best hands on the Peninsula to cope with their heart problem. Sign up for Charles Harmon’s visitor certification program and become a visitor volunteer now.
Please get your heart in the right place to provide valentines to others frequently.
