A New Generation Of Healthcare Has Arrived.

Healthcare on the Peninsula has been transformed. With the opening of Sentara CarePlex Hospital comes a whole new world of medical innovations. Throughout the campus, a fiberoptic backbone supports filmless, digital diagnostic images. Digital imaging means faster procedures, faster results and the ability for doctors to review tests from virtually any computer.

One of the country’s first e-ICUs is saving lives with uninterrupted monitoring of critically ill patients. And the Peninsula’s first “smart” operating rooms assist doctors with voice-activated technology and, in the future, telemedicine – yielding better results for you.

These innovations and many more are here today. Bringing you better health – and a dramatically different healthcare experience. To learn more, visit our website. Or call 1-800-SENTARA. For job opportunities, visit www.sentara.com/employment backbone spans the complex, enabling simultaneous computer transfer of life-saving information. This and other groundbreaking technology supports filmless, digital diagnostic imaging for faster, clearer test results; one of the nation’s only eICUs for uninterrupted monitoring of critically ill patients; and surgical equipment so sophisticated it listens and responds to doctors’ orders. And while the hospital has opened with bold new capabilities, the future is even more exciting because every inch has been built to accommodate new advancements, as they become available.
