NNS Helps to Fund New Bistro at Riverside Hospital On March 5, leadership from Newport News Shipbuilding and Riverside Regional Medical Center held a small ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open the hospital’s newest restaurant, the Pavilion Bistro. Prior to the ribbon cutting, leaders from Riverside gave brief remarks and Bill Bell, NNS vice president of Human Resources and Administration, unveiled a plaque on behalf of NNS that will be hung in the bistro. “Helping to fund the new Pavilion Bistro is just another way to continue and honor this partnership,” said Bell. “The shipyard has nearly 23,000 employees and Riverside is important to their quality of life. Our employees live across Hampton Roads and when they or their families need medical attention, they need to be comfortable and have a place to feel at home, have a good meal and relax and reduce anxiety. This bistro will help the entire community, and that’s really the ultimate goal.” The plaque that Bell unveiled was handcrafted by NNS shipbuilders in the Sheet Metal Shop. It depicts an aircraft carrier and a submarine. The frame around the plaque and the spear and gear on the plaque were created from steel used in the construction of Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78).
