The City of Newport News looks forward to continuing to work with the Peninsula Health Center and Riverside Health System to promote health equity, accessibility, and positive outcomes for residents of all ages and backgrounds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Riverside leadership shares the sentiment of Newport News Mayor Jones, as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are grateful for our ongoing partnership with the City of Newport News and the Virginia Department of Health,\u201d says Mike Doucette, vice president, Support Services, Riverside Health System. \u201cWe know that this move will greatly benefit patients, visitors, and team members of Riverside as well as HPHD.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The PHC is striving to meet the ongoing needs of the public and will be relocating its staff in phases to ensure continuation of services to the community.
