| UVA Health System Stationery Guidelines
As we continue to expand and evolve, UVA is committed to building a brand that mirror’s the advanced level of care we provide. We help to achieve this by continually striving to deliver the best care and treatment options to our patients. But we also build our brand by consistently presenting an image of excellence to the public.
Every communication with the public -- every sign, letter, brochure newsletter, flyer, email or website -- contributes to the overall impression of UVA. When these messages are unified, they reinforce all activities of our health system, creating a perception of quality that truly reflects the exceptional level of medicine we practice everyday.
Please follow these guidelines for letterhead, envelopes and business cards to project a consistent brand experience.
1. The complete department/division name will be used as space allows. Type size will not be adjusted for length. The words “Department of” and “Division of” may be eliminated.

3. Business Cards and Department Listing Letterhead ONLY:
