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, residents enjoy 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.
