Bon Secours Southern Virginia Medical Center is an 80-bed licensed acute care hospital serving Emporia, Virginia and surrounding communities. It is owned and operated by Bon Secours.[1]

History

The Southern Virginia Medical Center traces its history to Greensville Memorial Hospital in Emporia. When it opened in 1961 it employed 53 people and maintained 41 beds.[2]

The following year, the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Richmond blessed Southern Virginia Medical Center, making it an official Catholic hospital.[5]
