Profiles
Edward C. Oldfield, MD
Dr. Oldfield is EVMS primary spokesperson about COVID-19 and a familiar face on local newscasts. Colleagues have noted his unique ability to synthesize information about new infectious diseases and critically evaluate the scientific rigor of research. In addition to building EVMS Infectious Disease from the ground up, he created a system of care in southeastern Virginia for underinsured and uninsured HIV/AIDS patients.
Thanks to his commitment, the eight clinics he set up around the region have received more than $20 million in grant funding, most of it from the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program.
Along with his work at EVMS, he also is Medical Director for the Infection Prevention High-Performance Team that serves all hospitals in the Sentara Healthcare system.
