Trinitas Regional Medical Center has successfully fostered healthy living through important educational efforts and lifestyle change programs that have made a difference in the lives of our employees. Our numerous smoking cessation and fitness programs, our commitment to healthy eating, and diagnostic and preventative testing continue to be a source of pride for all of Trinitas. Recognition of these efforts by the CEO Roundtable on Cancer has given these initiatives a vital boost.
Hospital Best Practices
Starting in March of 2018, Vidant Medical Center opened a brand new cancer facility. Part of the goal when opening the new tower was that the community (including employees) would see the cancer center as a place where they can learn how to prevent cancer, not just be treated for it. We added outpatient mammography and ultrasound services and started a campaign targeted toward our employees, urging them to complete their screening exams. We also hold yearly head and neck cancer screenings which are advertised to all employees.
