The Birthplace At Chesapeake Regional Healthcare Is Named Among The Top 5% Of Hospitals Recognized by Healthgrades and Launches New Branding Spot

CHESAPEAKE, Va. – Chesapeake Regional Medical Center has been recognized by Healthgrades as a Labor and Delivery Excellence Award™ recipient for the 4th year in a row (2019-2022).

Chesapeake Regional’s BirthPlace is one of only five hospitals in Virginia to receive this distinction and the only one in Hampton Roads.

“Our Labor and Delivery staff, and our obstetricians, are very deserving of this recognition,” said Amber Egyud, DNP, RN, NE-BC, Chief Operating and Nursing Officer. “Together, they are a dedicated team that consistently provides high-quality, compassionate care for laboring mothers.
