We received notification that the St. Lucy Food Project, a food warehouse in Manassas serving more than 40,000 of the underprivileged living in Northern Virginia, obtained a commercial walk-in refrigerator and freezer. Up until now, the warehouse was limited to non-perishable foods. This week, the fridge and freezer were blessed by Bishop Burbidge.

Patients and visitors to Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center, as well as all Sentara Healthcare hospitals and outpatient facilities, are now able to receive timely text messages during critical safety events. A new opt-in emergency notification service dubbed SentarAlert allows anyone in Sentara facilities to receive the same texts Sentara employees receive through our emergency notification system (ENS).

SentarAlert allows patients and visitors to text a keyword unique to each Sentara facility or region to 333111 and immediately begin receiving critical safety messages. SentarAlert will begin the service with two critical safety notifications: Active Shooter and Evacuation. At 120 characters, notifications are brief and cryptic, like tweets, and designed to be augmented by overhead pages in hospitals and sites with public address systems.
