Director's Letter

A heartfelt thank you goes to Delegate Phil Hamilton for his leadership and support in the Virginia General Assembly.

Through his continued efforts, VECTEC secured funding in the state budget for 2006-07. Another thank you goes to the Governor who included funding in his budget.

VECTEC was also fortunate to receive a two-year grant from the Tobacco Commission to expand its services in Southwest Virginia and to establish a new office in Southside Virginia.

VECTEC Joins Local Companies to Bring Doctors & Patients Together on the Peninsula

E-commerce will not take the place of the family physician, but it is supporting a Peninsula physician who wants to increase residents' access to healthcare.

HealthConnector.org was conceived by local physician John Brady after he opened his "Village Doctor" office in Newport News and realized there was no central database of physicians. Dr. Brady came up with the idea as a better way to link doctors and patients, and VECTEC developed the site.
