All I Can Say is, “Wow”

Wow, all I can say is WOW! Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center is something to behold.

I know what you must be thinking… Who is this guy, (right?) And why is he on the SRMC Blog?

Well, my name is Richard G. Hill IV, but just about everyone calls me Rich.  Essentially, I’m SRMC’s “Head Box Kicker.” Formally translated that means I am the Leader of Supply Chain Services. I come to SRMC from Reston Hospital Center and Dominion Hospital in Northern Virginia. What’s interesting about that is…for the last five years I have commuted (much like many others in our community) to NOVA for work. My family and I chose Spotsylvania County because during our search for housing in NOVA, my wife had an opportunity to advance in her organization (in Richmond) and asked if there was somewhere “in the middle” that might fit our needs. We investigated several locations and Spotsylvania County was the best fit all the way around.

Now, I’ve introduced myself so let me get back to what I started talking about; SRMC. I had the opportunity to see the hospital for the first real time (living close to the build site, I drive by it all the time, but had not had the opportunity to see it up close and personal) this past Thursday, at the Medical Office building’s cornerstone ceremony. What a beautiful facility it is shaping up to be, from the exterior façade to the tile in the cafeteria, it is really something for our community to be proud of.

 The cornerstone ceremony was a pleasant experience to have attended. The comments, made by the leaders of the community and the hospital organization, were inspiring. By the way, have you met the leadership team for SRMC?They are an inspired and motivated bunch; the more I am around them, the easier it becomes to see the vision and passion that these capable individuals have for our hospital. SRMC is shaping up to be an excellent healthcare facility for the people of Spotsylvania County. I am proud to say I am part of the team bringing Healthcare to our community.

I will leave you with a quote from Oliver Wendell Homes “Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it. ~ But sail we must and not drift, nor lie at anchor.”  The direction and course in which SRMC is moving is impressive and something to watch, again all I can say is WOW!
