“Considering how fortunate we are to have so many outstanding physicians locally, I am greatly honored to be recognized by my coworkers and peers for this award,” said Dr. Hill. “This recognition would certainly not be possible without the help of a team of incredible nurses and support staff. I am blessed beyond measure.”

Dr. Hill, who grew up in the Shenandoah Valley and joined the Sentara Timber Way in 2010, received more than 20 nominations this year.
