Nearly 31% of all deaths in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County are related to cardiovascular disease and stroke, according to the Virginia Department of Health. That’s why access to a wide range of heart services right here in our community is so important to all of us.
Thanks to donor support, Sentara RMH now offers a comprehensive program of cardiac services. These services are designed to address a broad spectrum of issues. So if you have a severe, possibly life threatening condition of the heart, Sentara RMH can provide intervention, treatment and ongoing care. But if you have a healthy heart and want to keep it that way, Sentara RMH can assist with wellness and prevention – all because of generous donors like you.
Supporting matters of the heart
Recently donations to the Heart and Vascular Center have helped purchase everything from a $40,000 Intra-aortic Balloon Pump that helps open clogged arteries to gas cards for patients who couldn’t afford to travel to cardiac rehab to recover from surgery. Your donation will provide life saving equipment, cutting edge technology, and help to those who need it most.

Donors have directly made a huge difference in my life and the lives of my patients. Providing scholarships and financial assistance to continue my education and have access to state-of-the-art equipment is a game-changer.

Seeing sick patients get better because of superior, new technology never gets old. Relief, hope and joy—those are hard to measure, but easy to see.

It’s difficult to admit you need help. When that help comes at the exact right time and place, it feels like more than help, it feels like a miracle.
Patient
We chose to support the RMH Foundation through our estate because we wanted to give a gift that grows and helps here in our community. I feel good knowing my family, friends and neighbors will benefit from my gift for years to come.
The RMH Foundation exists solely to support Sentara RMH Medical Center and enhance its mission to improve health and promote wellbeing. Sentara RMH has been able to significantly improve the care patients receive because of gifts from our caring and generous community. One hundred percent of donations directly benefit patients and our community through the purchase of new equipment and support of compassionate programs.
