Today we close the doors at our St. Mary's Hospital office for the last time. What doesn't close is our commitment to you. The same physicians, the same team, the same care. Now at our West End – Forest Medical Plaza and Short Pump at West Creek locations.

To every patient, family member, and colleague who walked through these doors: thank you. Your care continues at a new address.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! 💙 We're thrilled to hear that your experience at VCS has been a positive one. It is truly humbling to know that the care provided has had such a meaningful impact on your life and those around you.

Full Review: This office is run very efficiently. One can partially check in online prior to your appointment to save time. Once you arrive, there is little wait time until your check in is complete. Most always, the doctor sees me at the appointed time. The care I have received has been excellent. It has saved my life and that of others I personally know. I can't speak for every doctor in the practice but Dr. Peter Ro is excellent. Knowledgable, experienced, compassionate and caring. I am grateful for his care.

MYTH: "My calcium score was zero, so my heart must be fine."

This one comes up a lot, and we get why. It sounds reassuring. But a calcium score of zero means there’s no *calcified* plaque. Soft, non-calcified plaque (which can be just as dangerous) won’t show up on a standard scan.

Our team uses AI-enhanced imaging to see the full picture. If you’ve had a calcium score and felt like something was missing, or if you’ve never had one and want to know where you stand, let’s talk.

9 locations across Central Virginia. Physician-led care from day one.

259 people. 1,900 years of service. And this is just a small sampling of what they say about each other.

This is the heart behind the care.

Strong Hearts. Strong Team. Happy Employee Appreciation Week.

This week, we celebrated the people who make VCS what it is. Our team received their
Employee Appreciation Week gifts on Tuesday, and we loved seeing the smiles across every
office. Thank you for being the heart behind the care. Strong Hearts. Strong Team. ❤

Numbers tell a story.

Behind every appointment, every procedure, every phone call, and every follow-up is a team that has chosen to show up for our patients year after year. 259 team members. 1,900 combined years of service to VCS and our community. That kind of dedication does not happen by accident. It is a reflection of who you are.

Happy Employee Appreciation Week to the heart behind the care. ❤ Strong Hearts. Strong Team.

This week belongs to you.

May 11 through 17 is VCS Employee Appreciation Week, and this year our theme says exactly what we mean. You are the heart behind the care. Every patient who walks through our doors
experiences your dedication, your attentiveness, and your commitment to doing things right. That is not a small thing. It is everything.

Thank you. ❤ Strong Hearts. Strong Team.
