Personal Statement

CHKD provides exceptional care for children of all ages. Families are well supported by experts in many specialties and primary care. When my own children have needed surgery or emergent visits, it was a great relief to know they could receive world-class care so close to home.

Bio

Beth Darrow is a pediatric nurse practitioner who is grateful to support patients and families throughout their perioperative process.

She is devoted to shared decision-making, medically optimizing patients for their procedures, and answering questions related to anesthesia. She started working at CHKD in 1998 as an operating room nurse.

Over the years she has scrubbed, circulated, and assisted with many surgical specialties at both the main hospital and the surgery center at Princess Anne. Before going to graduate school, she also worked as a school nurse and kindergarten teacher in Virginia Beach.

Safety guides every surgical decision from start to finish at CHKD. That’s one reason why the American College of Surgeons (ACS) has repeatedly granted CHKD the highest level of certification for pediatric surgical care.
