Chippenham Hospital

The hospital offers a broad range of services including trauma, cardiac, vascular, thoracic, obstetrics, general surgery, orthopedics, urology, GYN, GI, and pediatrics, with an annual surgical volume of approximately 18,000 cases and an average of 500 labor epidurals. For nursing professionals, Chippenham offers a structured RN Residency Program—a year-long transition program for new graduate nurses that provides hands-on clinical experience supported by nurse educators, experienced nurses, and fellow residents. The hospital emphasizes career advancement through clear pathways and HCA's nationwide transfer policy, enabling mobility across the broader HCA Healthcare network. The work environment is described as featuring mutual respect and collaboration among surgical staff, with self/preferential scheduling posted four weeks in advance and continuous investment in surgical equipment and patient positioning technology. The anesthesia care team model includes 9 general anesthesiologists, 4 CV anesthesiologists, and 29 CRNAs covering approximately 20 sites of service, offering CRNAs a full scope of practice with diverse case mixes. However, some nursing positions require on-call coverage during non-business hours, and PRN CRNAs may be asked to provide coverage at additional HCA facilities including Johnston-Willis Hospital and TriCities Hospital depending on scheduling needs.

Chippenham Hospital operates under HCA Healthcare's mission: 'Above all else, we are committed to the care and improvement of human life.' Core values include recognizing the unique and intrinsic worth of each individual, treating all with compassion and kindness, trusting colleagues as valuable healthcare team members and treating them with loyalty, respect, and dignity, and acting with absolute honesty, integrity, and fairness in business and personal conduct.
