Riverside Foundation Recognized for Community Impact



Coastal VA Magazine 2020 COVA Giving Back Awards
We’re so proud to have been recognized by Coastal Virginia Magazine as part of their 2020 Annual Giving Back and Community Impact Awards honoring the Riverside Foundation as a nonprofit committed to making Eastern Virginia a better place for all.

“Riverside achieves its mission by going far beyond what others may call ‘good’ enough. This higher standard of care comes with a cost, which is not compensated, but Riverside unwaveringly strides past the financial obstacles to achieve its mission.”—Theresa Emory, M.D., donor, Pathologist at Peninsula Pathology Associates.

Riverside’s priority is to provide the highest quality of care, regardless of a patient’s insurance coverage or financial capabilities. Riverside
is also dedicated to ensuring the patient is served beyond treatment facility walls.

  • Our 600 providers and 10,000 team members provide specialized care in cancer, heart and vascular treatment, as well as radiology and surgical specialties in general, oncology, neurosurgery, urology and orthopedics.
  • Riverside Patient Navigators eliminate barriers for healing by offering support and guidance for treatment options.
  • In 2019 (the most recent year calculated), Riverside provided uninsured and underinsured patients with $246 million worth of uncompensated care.
  • Riverside annually performs hundreds of free breast cancer screenings and mammograms to underserved women throughout the Peninsula, Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck.
  • Each year, the Riverside Foundation invests hundreds of thousands of dollars in privately donated funds into patient assistance reserves to help with patients’ utility bills, rent for those at risk of losing housing during cancer treatments and access to safe transportation to Riverside facilities.
