Nofolk Loves EVMS

The Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) has an impact of $700 million in revenues and costs of lost medical care annually.  This is from a report commissioned by EVMS.  A little bit about the numbers.  EVMS provides free services such as vaccinations and counseling to the tune of 94,000 children in the area.  It is the 23rd larges non-federal employer in the region and if patients had to go outside the region for care provided for by EVMS the area would loose $20.25 million in spending.  The list goes on but you get the idea.  I for one am certainly glad EVMS is around.
