In the public confusion surrounding COVID-19, Dr. Mike Silverman, Chair of VHC’s Department of Emergency Medicine, began offering a frontline perspective through his personal Facebook page. His “Friday Night Updates” became a mainstay for our community, providing a real look at what was going on inside hospitals across the country, including our own. His “straight talk” posts throughout the pandemic have earned him recognition in Arlington Magazine’s “Best of Arlington 2021”. Dr. Silverman, thank you for your service to our community, both inside and outside of our Hospital walls!
Mike’s Response:
Thanks so much to the Life at VHC: Virginia Hospital Center for the support and to Arlington Magazine for the recognition. I’m can’t express my appreciation enough to the people that have trusted me and allowed me to share the story of our emergency department during this crazy year. I look forward to a day in the near future when there is nothing left to say about COVID because it is behind us. Virginia Hospital Center
