Richmond Magazine has published its annual list of top doctors in the Richmond region. VCU Health made the top of the list with more than 210 providers being featured. There was also a special recognition for one of VCU Massey Cancer Center’s team members.
Vanessa Sheppard, Ph.D., associate director for community outreach and engagement and health disparities research at Massey Cancer Center, was the magazine’s cover story for this year’s special edition. Sheppard was named the American Cancer Society’s Researcher of the Year for her innovative community studies on health disparities and breast cancer. She is also the inaugural interim dean of the recently announced Virginia Commonwealth University School of Population Health.
Of the VCU Health providers named to Richmond Magazine’s list this year, about 20 were listed as Top Docs in multiple specialties, including those serving patients at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU, VCU Massey Cancer Center, VCU Hume-Lee Transplant Center and VCU Health Pauley Heart Center.
This special recognition highlights the compassionate care our doctors provide as well as the innovative technology and inclusive approaches they use to treat our patients.
