Dear Team Members,

As we approach UVA Health Week, we want to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible work that each of you do every day to provide exceptional care to our patients. This year's theme, "One Future Together | Health and Hope for All," is a reminder of our shared commitment and unifying vision to be the nation’s leading public academic health system and best place to work by transforming patient care, research, education, and engagement with the diverse communities we serve.

Our work is both rewarding and challenging — and we are healthcare professionals who are dedicated and passionate about making a difference in our communities and beyond. We know that our patients and their families depend on us to provide the highest level of care, and we are honored to deliver on that responsibility each and every day as we work together to create a future where health and hope are accessible to everyone.

As we observe UVA Health Week, let's take the opportunity to celebrate with our colleagues and recognize our achievements at one of the celebrations taking place next week.
