Healthcare Heroes – Virginia Center for Health Innovation

Taking Care

In addition to our stories page, our team wanted to create a separate resource to support healthcare workers during these challenging times. Below is a collection of virtual supports and tools we found for health care workers to take a pause and take care of themselves.

Organizations innovate and improvise to address PPE shortages

VCU Health, Virginia's Community Health Centers, and UVA Health System implement ways to safely reuse critical PPE.

Hotel offering special rate for healthcare workers

Drury Hotel, near the VCHI office, is offering a special rate for healthcare workers needing temporary accommodations. Thanks to staff at the Virginia Community Healthcare Association for sharing this with our community.

Masks and PPE Donations for Health Care Workers

Businesses and private citizens are stepping up to donate and make PPE to healthcare workers.

Health care teams turn on a dime to change care delivery and serve patients

Primary care teams across Virginia quickly adapt their workflows to keep patients safe.

Peer-support resource for providers

Those on the front line of health care need support and connection now more than ever. PeerRxMed was created by Virginia physician, Dr. Mark Greenawald and is free for anyone to join.
