Chesapeake Regional Healthcare

Chesapeake Regional Healthcare is a not‑for‑profit, independent health system serving southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina. Founded in 1976 through a grassroots, community‑wide effort, it is the only independent, community‑based hospital in Hampton Roads, allowing it to focus locally on patient needs and regional partnerships rather than corporate system priorities.

‍
The system’s flagship hospital, Chesapeake Regional Medical Center, is a 310‑bed acute care facility known for innovation, strong emergency medicine performance, and nationally recognized outcomes. Chesapeake Regional operates one of the busiest emergency departments in Hampton Roads, has risk‑adjusted leading heart‑attack survival rates, and is a nationally accredited Chest Pain Center. In 2025, the hospital achieved Provisional Level III Adult Trauma Center designation, significantly improving access to trauma care and reducing EMS transport times for critically injured patients in Chesapeake and surrounding areas. Chesapeake Regional maintains strong collaboration with EMS, fire, and public safety agencies to deliver rapid, coordinated, life‑saving care close to home.
