VCU Medical Center

VCU Medical Center Annual Report 2014

Increasing access

It was a year of growth and expansion for VCU Medical Center: 2014 heralded the addition of new services at existing locations, grand openings of clinics across the region.

The medical center also expanded telemedicine access in services including genetics, pediatrics, HIV and radiation-oncology to multiple locations, allowing patients access to VCU specialists they wouldn’t otherwise be able to see. The medical center now offers telemedicine services in nearly a dozen communities outside of the metro Richmond, Virginia, area.

Here’s a look at our work over the past year to reach more patients throughout Virginia.
