Chesapeake Regional Healthcare is the new name of a collection of health-care facilities and services in the Hampton Roads city, including Chesapeake Regional Medical Center.
In addition to the medical center, Chesapeake Regional Healthcare owns the Diagnostic Center of Chesapeake, The Lifestyle Center, The Sleep Center of Chesapeake and Elizabeth City, and has a stake in the Outer Banks Hospital, The Surgery Center of Chesapeake and Chesapeake Regional Imaging Centers.
Early next year, Chesapeake Regional Healthcare will open the Chesapeake Regional Surgery Center at Virginia Beach on the second floor of a new building constructed on the Urology of Virginia campus.
The health system also participates in a number of partnerships including a radiosurgery services relationship with the University of Virginia and Riverside Health System and another partnership with Diagnostic Imaging Centers.
Chesapeake Regional Healthcare is one of the largest employers in Chesapeake with more than 2,200 employees.
The rebranding, which launched in a soft opening with a rebranded website in early summer, comes as the hospital prepares to celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2016.
