All in the Family at Virtua Health (2.20.25)
What's it like to work alongside your family? Dennis Pullin sat down with Reggie and Naomi Riggs, a father-daughter duo at the Virtua Access Center, to find out. Reggie, who began scheduling primary care appointments, now works in training and development. Naomi navigates the complexities of patient care with a "high-touch" approach. Both believe in the power of compassionate connection—with patients, their own family unit, and fellow colleagues who they consider extended family. The conversation takes a touching turn when Naomi recounts the very personal story of Reggie's role in her home birth.
James Baliko's Journey to Give Back (2.5.25)
Virtua I.T. project manager James Baliko's story is one of resilience and a renewed dedication to helping others. In this conversation with President and CEO Dennis Pullin, James—a dedicated triathlete—shares how his life took an unexpected turn after experiencing a heart event and collapsing during a cycling ride.
Thanks to the quick actions of a passing nurse and Virtua’s first responders, his life was saved. Doctors then discovered a 95% artery blockage, despite his peak fitness. Now, James champions for preventative health, urging everyone to get regular stress tests and listen to their bodies.
