Helping you and your family stay healthy and safe.

First Tuesdays: Take Charge of Your Health

When it comes to our health, knowledge is power. First Tuesday educational sessions connect you directly with Sentara Martha Jefferson Hospital clinicians, who share information and answer questions on important health topics. The sessions are free and open to the public, to improve access to care and advance health here at home in our community.

All the First Tuesday sessions are recorded and added to our archive. We invite you to check out the recordings, register for a session, and share your topic ideas.  Suggestions are always welcomed and appreciated. Be well and see you on the First Tuesday of the month!
