At Danville Regional Health System we were already undergoing changes, initiatives, and improvements that will have a positive impact on the health and welfare of our neighbors in the Dan River Region. And, like everyone else in American, our commitment stands firm.
With the renewed focus on bio-terrorism, we've heightened our focus on preparedness. We've reviewed old policies and procedures and created new ones to meet what is now a very real threat. By conducting a number of realistic exercises, and increasing awareness across the organization, we're better prepared for the future.
Our initiatives for Better Health in the Dan River Region have begun to make headway. We're promoting public awareness concerning heart disease, pneumonia, and stroke. But, we continue to see lifestyle choices that affect the overall community, especially tobacco use, lack of exercise, and poor diet. It's not an easy process, but the health system is setting a good example for the community, because it's important to be in the prevention business, as well as the treatment business.
Over the last year we worked harder than ever to keep our commitment to the community. As we look to the future, you can count on Danville Regional to meet the promise of Better Health for the people of our region.
Sincerely,

It's difficult to look back on 2001 without considering how very much our world has changed. Events of September 11 altered many of our national priorities, and our personal priorities as well. However, our resolve as a people has been quickened, our commitments to fellow citizens around the world have been strengthened, and our sense that each of us has an opportunity to make our world a more peaceful place has been crystallized.
