What Your Gift Funds
We improve health every day. This is our mission.
A Partnership in Health
At Sentara, that simple phrase encompasses an expansive array of services – saving the lives of trauma, heart attack, and stroke patients; helping patients manage cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic conditions; and providing behavioral health care in our hospitals and communities.
Areas We Serve
Sentara Foundation is a conduit for giving across Northern Virginia, Southeastern Virginia, Southside Virginia, and Northeast North Carolina. While we serve a broad area, your donations stay local to your community, ensuring you’re making a difference in health care at home.

Four Areas of Focus
Your gift funds four key campaigns that are providing ongoing services to patients and families. Learn more about them below.
Patient Assistance Funds
Our Sentara Foundation Fund gives you the opportunity to support patient care at a hospital of your choice.
Your support makes a difference and offers an opportunity to honor a caregiver that contributed to your own care, as well as a means to honor someone close to your heart.
Nightingale Regional Air Ambulance
For the past 40+ years, the Sentara Nightingale Regional Air Ambulance has flown more than 25,000 critically ill and injured patients to the most appropriate hospital, when minutes count. Today we are seeking help to reach our goal of raising $1,000,000 for a new navigation system to ensure the fastest and safest response time possible.
Sentara Brock Cancer Center
Transforming cancer care in Hampton Roads requires more than a dedicated team of caregivers. It will take an entire community to make the Sentara Brock Cancer Center a destination for hope. The Sentara Brock Cancer Center is a first-of-its-kind investment in the health and wellbeing of our region and aims to provide previously unavailable services.
Sentara Mobile Mammography Services
Help us raise $1 million for two new 3D mobile mammography vans. By adding two more mobile mammo vans we could offer 2,000 more screenings per van each year. Imagine, 4,000 more people receiving the healthcare they need!
