How do Sentara Employees Celebrate Our Top ranking? Why We Dance, Dance, Dance
With a second consecutive year as the number one integrated healthcare system in the country, we’ve taken a unique approach to spreading the news. We’ve created an original music video featuring many of the employees who have contributed to our success.
It took a little convincing for some, but in the end most employees couldn’t resist the call to grove with the music. The resulting video represents employees from across the system – all of whom play an important role in our recognition as the Top Integrated Healthcare System two years running.
Sentara is the only health system in the country to be ranked in the top 10 all 14 years the survey has been conducted. We’ve landed in the top spot three times (2001, 2010 & 2011).
As an integrated healthcare system, Sentara provides services that cover in and outpatient healthcare services, including physician practices, advanced imaging and diagnostics, long term care, home healthcare services, medical transport and air ambulance services, as well as a 430,000 member health plan, Optima Health.
Thank you to our employees and medical staff for an unwavering dedication to quality care and for being part of our mission to improve health every day.
We dare you to watch this without getting the urge to get up and dance. Share it with your family and friends. And, submit a comment to the blog to let us know why Sentara makes you feel like dancing!












Loved the video, so nice to see our company can do fun things to celebrate a wonderful recognition. I truly enjoy working for Sentara, especially my home hospital in Williamsburg. A wonderful place to work, compared to other companies I have worked for in the local area.
