Henrico, Parham & Retreat Doctors' Hospitals

With just around the corner, we want to thank all the incredible dads, dads-to-be and father figures out there! Today and every day, prioritizing your health is the best gift you can give yourself and your loved ones. To help you along your health journey, here are screening guidelines for men based on age. These recommendations may vary based on your personal risk factors and family history. Talk to your doctor about which screenings are right for you, and how often you should get them.

Recognizing mental health is a critical component of overall wellbeing, we have dedicated ourselves to creating a comprehensive, accessible, and compassionate outpatient service.
The Women’s Hospital of Henrico Doctors’ Hospital proudly cut the ribbon this week for the Women's Intensive Outpatient Program – an area of focus designed for women with specialized programming, including self-esteem building, regular self-care, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, both pregnancy and postpartum depression and anxiety, miscarriage and loss, societal pressures on women, managing roles and responsibilities, and developing coping techniques for depression and anxiety.
The new, dedicated space is designed to provide a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where women can receive the care they need and deserve.
Dr. Vienne Murray, Faith Parker, MSN, RNC-OB, Allyssa Tobitt, CEO of Parham Doctors’ Hospital and Kaitlyn Streeter, ATR LPC cut the ribbon joined by State Senator Schuyler VanValkenburg and Congressman Rob Wittman showing support for the opening.

🎊 Celebrating 🎊 with much appreciation for our caring professionals providing compassionate care! Tell the Nursing Assistants or Patient Care Technicians (PCTs) you know 'Thank You!'

Happy Nursing Assistants Week to the dedicated nursing assistants or patient care techs (PCTs), at HCA Virginia Health System and across our larger HCA Healthcare network of care.

Assisting in both clinical and administrative duties, the responsibilities of a nursing assistant may include transporting patients, gathering essential medical supplies, checking vitals and documenting patient information.

To the PCTs across HCA Healthcare, thank you for your hard work and commitment to providing exceptional care each day.

At HCA Healthcare, caring for our patients is our top priority. But we are also committed to taking care of each other. If you're looking to join a team that cares for each other like family, you've come to the right place. Join us in the NICU. https://bit.ly/3KKPhq5

As we recognize and celebrate World Environment Day, the actions of Dr. Varun Dixit and Henrico Doctors’ Hospital are being heralded by a national organization. Last year, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality presented Henrico Doctors’ Hospital with a Governor’s Environmental Excellence Award at the Gold level for progress with recycling waste (diverting for that 200,000 lbs. of recyclables from the landfill) and conversion of the operating rooms to ‘low flow’ anesthesia. Now, The National Pollution Prevention Roundtable has awarded Dr. Dixit with the Ken Zarker Memorial P2 Champion Award for efforts converting 3 campuses of Henrico Doctors' Hospitals from traditional ‘high flow’ to ‘low flow’ anesthesia further enhancing a model of significant reduction in gas emissions. Concerned American hospitals produce about six million tons of annual gas emission waste – 30% generated by hospital operating rooms – expansion of the successful recycling and ‘low flow’ program has been a goal for Dr. Dixit. In addition to making these changes across the campuses, Dr. Dixit also conducted extensive educational sessions illustrating the work clinicians with the North American Partners in Anesthesia (NAPA) as to the benefits of adjusting to ‘low flow’ anesthesia in their practices – better serving the planet and patients!

“I’m so grateful for the beautiful and empowering birth experience I was able to have at Henrico Doctors’ Hospital thanks to the incredible staff,” said HCA Virginia Health System patient, Sarah Holland.

When Sarah gave birth to her second child at Henrico, Parham & Retreat Doctors' Hospitals, she said the experience was vastly different than where she birthed her first child — in the best way.

Her noninvasive birthing preferences were respected, and her midwife, Barbara, was an expert in her profession. Sarah and her husband felt supported and safe from start to finish.

“Each staff member we came in contact with spent the time and energy to treat me as more than just a room number they were assigned,” Sarah shared. “I was valued as their patient.”
