Our Founding Partner: Sentara's Impact

LISC Hampton Roads proudly recognizes Sentara as our founding partner, a driving force behind the positive transformations we've achieved since our collaboration began in late 2019. Together, we are dedicated to addressing critical community challenges and enhancing the well-being of individuals throughout the Hampton Roads region.

Empowering Health and Well-being

Sentara, as the area's largest anchor institution, has played a pivotal role in our joint efforts to improve people's health and quality of life. Through strategic initiatives, we have tackled pressing issues such as access to quality affordable housing, mental health services, and financial stability for families. This partnership has enabled us to create a substantial impact on the overall health and well-being of our communities.

Supporting Resilience and Prosperity

Amid the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and economic recession, our collaboration has extended essential support to local small businesses, particularly those owned by women and individuals from marginalized backgrounds. By providing resources and assistance, we've helped these businesses weather the storm, safeguard jobs, and contribute to the growth and wealth of the region.

Creating Opportunities for Growth and Wellness

Together, LISC and Sentara are not just addressing immediate needs but also nurturing the foundations for lasting change. By collaboratively confronting obstacles and seizing opportunities, we are actively fostering economic growth, health, and wellness across Hampton Roads.

A Lasting Impact

Sentara's unwavering dedication to our joint vision has translated into meaningful outcomes that extend far beyond our initial collaboration. Our partnership's influence resonates through the region, leaving a lasting imprint of positive change that continues to inspire progress and elevate the lives of countless individuals.

As we celebrate the transformative power of this partnership, we remain steadfast in our commitment to creating a more vibrant and resilient future for all in Hampton Roads.
