LifePoint is committed to putting people first
from Better Health magazine, Summer,
2005
When Danville Regional
began looking for the best way to secure the future
of local access to the finest healthcare for the people
of the Dan River Region, one company emerged as the
clear choice. We are proud to now be part of the LifePoint
Hospitals, Inc.
Headquartered in Brentwood, Tennessee, LifePoint is
dedicated to America's hometown hospitals. Serving more
than 52 communities in 20 states, LifePoint maintains
a solid philosophy that service means putting people
first. Its five core values mirror our own:
 Delivering
high-quality patient care to friend, families, and
neighbors in the community. This is LifePoint's
highest priority. Supporting
physicians by striving to provide innovative facilities,
advanced technology, and a well-trained, organized
clinical staff.
Creating
excellent workplaces for our employees, an environment
based on respect and one that encourages personal
and professional growth.
Providing
community value by supporting local civic and
charitable events and by being actively involved
in the community.
Ensuring
fiscal responsibility by meeting the capital needs
of the hospital and the expectations of stakeholders.

We didn't have to go far to see the impact LifePoint has
had in communities right here in Virginia. Wythe County
Community Hospital and Memorial Hospital of Martinsville
and Henry County are also in the LifePoint family. We
recognized the positive influence LifePoint has had in
their operations, and we're confident the quality of healthcare
in our region will continue to grow.
Becoming a part of the LifePoint family has brought
many advantages. One such advantage is the opportunity
to share resources with other hospitals. LifePoint has
in-depth experience in providing outstanding management
expertise to its hospitals. This experience will allow
us to continue to gain stronger positioning in numerous
administrative functions, such as in the purchasing
of the many supplies required to provide the highest
level of patient care. This is just one example of how
lifePoint will help Danville Regional as we make our
way through the fast-changing and sometimes difficult
environment facing healthcare organizations today.
LifePoint is also committed to developing strong relationships
with our physician community and places great emphasis
on nurturing strategic partnerships with physicians,
as well as encouraging involvement with local boards.
William F. Carpenter, III, Executive Vice President
of LifePoint, has said local residents can be assured
that the excellent care provided at Danville Regional
will continue. "Our goal is to continue the legacy
of Danville Regional and to be a contributing member
of the community."
LifePoint is making a significant contribution to non-urban
healthcare in communities like Danville all across the
country. The company understands that one of the best
ways for Danville Regional to continue to provide the
highest level of patient care is for administrative
decisions to be made by the hospital's senior management;
the people who are managing the hospital day to day
and who live right here in our community. You can read
