VIRGINIA, USA — When Tony Holley was admitted to the hospital with complications from stage four pancreatic cancer, he said he didn’t just want treatment —he needed to know someone was listening. "You don't want to feel like [you're]... just another patient," Holley said. "I like to feel like you care a little about what's going on with me." That kind of connection is what Sentara Health is working to build through its Patient & Family Advisory Councils (PFACs).

SUFFOLK, Va. — In one of Hampton Roads' most closely watched races, two Republican candidates are vying for the open seat in Virginia's House District 89-- an area that includes part of Suffolk and western Chesapeake. With Delegate Baxter Ennis not seeking re-election when his term ends in January 2026, the primary election will decide which conservative voice heads to the November ballot in a district that was recently redrawn and is highly competitive.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — Flossing may be one of the simplest things you’re not doing that could save your life. A recent study from the American Heart Association (AHA) suggests flossing-- even just once a week-- can significantly lower your risk of stroke, especially those caused by blood clots. The research, which followed more than 6,000 adults over 25 years, also links better oral hygiene to a reduced risk of heart rhythm issues like atrial fibrillation (AFib).

HAMPTON, Va. — Rick Mulligan didn’t wait for major funding, a large staff or a detailed plan. He saw a veteran being ignored in a parking lot and decided to do something about it. "I saw a guy up here at Chick-fil-A in 2019 in a Hoveround with no lower legs, waving a flag, 90 degrees out," he said. "No one even spoke to this man, and I was not happy." He said that moment stuck with him, and he knew something had to change.
