Financial assistance
We understand that health care expenses are often unexpected and the costs may be more than one can afford. And if you are without health insurance, we know the concerns and burdens you feel when doctor and hospital bills mount. Lack of financial resources will not get in the way of providing essential health services to you. For details visit the Financial Assistance Information page or call our Financial Counselor at 757-302-2386.

Patient information
Patient rooms may be dialed directly, or you may call Patient Information at 757-302-2390.

Advanced directives
You can communicate your own choices and reduce the stress on people who care about you by writing advanced directives. This is about your own values, not filling out forms, so take some time to reflect on the things that are important to you, and talk about them with the people who are close to you. Your choices may change over time, so talk about these things often, and update your advanced directives when needed.
