During the recent influenza A (H1N1) outbreak, the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) utilized the emergency contact information provided to it from the Department of Health Professions (DHP). If you did not receive these notices from VDH, it may be due to incomplete or outdated information maintained by your licensing board. The most effective and efficient way to disseminate information during an emergency is through e-mail. If you have not provided a current e-mail address for use during an emergency, please update your information with DHP. Please make sure your fax number is also current for alternate use if email is unavailable. Update your information.
