ENJOY LIFE ON THE EAST COAST
CHKD Health System is headquartered in Coastal Virginia, and its 40+ facilities serve over 425,000 children from Williamsburg, Virginia, to northeast North Carolina. An area known for its excellent schools, waterfront attractions, and family-friendly activities, our region offers a wide range of outdoor recreational options, including boating, kayaking, and fishing, as well entertainment options at large concert venues, minor league sports, and multiple adventure and water parks. The region is conveniently located near Norfolk International Airport and Amtrak lines for travel enthusiasts, but a trip to Washington DC, the Shenandoah mountains, or the beaches of the Outer Banks is just a short drive away. There is much to love about this welcoming area we call home.
