Chippenham & Johnston-Willis Hospitals General Surgery Residency Program's mission is to train the upcoming generation of general surgeons to provide patients and the community with high-quality care and clinical excellence in all realms of care. As part of HCA Healthcare, a single mission drives us, "Above all else, we are committed to the care and improvement of human life".

The faculty, who are role models, will train residents to be responsive, compassionate, and sensitive to their patients' needs and treat everyone with respect.
