Sentara Potomac Hospital Renamed

From Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center:

Sentara Healthcare announces that Potomac Hospital is now Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center.  

“The decision to introduce a new hospital name was prompted by the many positive changes made at Potomac Hospital over the past two and a half years since joining Sentara Healthcare,” said Megan Perry, president of Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center and corporate vice president, Sentara Healthcare in a press release. “We believe that a new hospital name is symbolic and a celebration of all the hard work that has been undertaken by our physicians, staff and volunteers to improve the service and care we provide every day.”

Since December 2009, Sentara Healthcare has implemented many new programs and services in Northern Virginia, including the Sentara Heart and Vascular Center, Sentara Lake Ridge, and Sentara eCare®, a comprehensive electronic medical record which uses innovative technology to link patient medical information between Sentara hospitals, physician practices, and other healthcare sites over a protected network, enabling the secure sharing of patient information.

“These are just a few of the many changes that Sentara has implemented since arriving to the area in late 2009,” says Perry. “Sentara will continue to bring quality services and advanced medical technology to our community as we look forward to future growth in Northern Virginia.”
