You want a doctor who knows you. This kind of personal relationship offers the prevention and wellness support you need to thrive.
And should you need a specialist, we can easily connect you to one. At local clinics or at one of our top medical centers, you?ll benefit from highly trained teams experienced in treating the most complex conditions with the most advanced medicine and science.
Our 2022-2032 Strategic Plan
With input from the community and employees, we developed a strategic plan to help us meet our  mission, vision, and values . As Craig Kent, MD, CEO of UVA Health, writes in the introduction:
"Patients in 2032 will be treated with an entirely new compendium of therapies, researchers will leverage new techniques for discovery, education and training paradigms will change significantly, and care delivery models will be enhanced through patient-centered technology, with a focus on prevention and care at home. As an academic health system, our vision is that UVA Health will be at the forefront leading this change."
