Public Health Support
The Medical Society of Virginia, the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), and others are working together to provide physicians and patients important resources about public health in Virginia.
Chronic Care Management
Improve management of patients with multiple chronic conditions, generate new revenue, and supplement your practice staff. This is a no-cost program aimed at independent practices, supported by a grant through the Virginia Department of Health.
Stroke Smart
Tragically, one in three stroke patients first call their medical provider rather than 911 when stroke signs begin. This delay can result in death or a lifetime disability for the patient.
The MSV Foundation offers Stroke Smart wallet cards, magnets, and posters to share with your patients at no cost to your practice. Available in English and Spanish.
MSVF Virtual Reality and Vaccines Program
A cutting-edge program to improve vaccination rates among children in Virginia. Kids under 12 who attend select vaccination clinics can play a fun, interactive Virtual Reality (VR) game while they receive their injections. As kids engage with the VR, they may notice a reduction in anxiety, pain, and stress.
Self-Measured Blood Pressure (SMBP) Monitoring
The Medical Society of Virginia Foundation is offering practices in high-priority areas the ability to receive up to 30 wireless upper arm blood pressure monitors at no cost. In exchange, the program is seeking de-identified patient data on average systolic and diastolic blood pressure over a 6-month period to show the impact of SMBP on patient outcomes.
