Here at Riverside, we remain committed to investing in our nurses, supporting certification, and continuously raising the bar in healthcare.

As the year comes to a close, we’re reminded of the many ways you touch lives—quietly, consistently, and with extraordinary compassion. Your work reaches far beyond the walls of clinics and hospitals, rippling through our communities as you calm anxious families, restore dignity in difficult moments, and offer hope when it’s needed most. This season, we celebrate not only our dedicated team members, but all of the healthcare heroes across southeast Virginia. Your impact is felt every day, in ways that words can only begin to capture. May this holiday season bring you well-deserved rest, joy, and the same warmth and care you so generously extend to others throughout the year. Thank you for making our community healthier, kinder, and stronger. With deep gratitude, Riverside Health

Riverside Celebrates Nurses Week! Our Chief Nurse Executive, Frankye Myers, says, "I want to take a moment to express heartfelt gratitude — as a fellow nurse who understands the commitment, heart and purpose behind everything our nurses do. "This year’s theme from the American Organization for Nursing Leadership is Care. Lead. Inspire. — Repeat. "It beautifully reflects the spirit of nursing, but also the power of partnership that exists across our health system. While we take this week to spotlight the remarkable work of our nurses, this celebration is also about the teams, departments and individuals who stand alongside them — supporting, collaborating and advancing care for every person who comes through our doors." Happy Nurses Week!
