UVA Health System
Latest addition to the UVA Health System under construction: the Education Resource Center (on Lee Street, directly across from UVA Medical Center’s main entrance).
The center will provide much-needed lecture space and a procedural simulation center for residents and fellows in all departments.
Thomas Jefferson established the medical school at the University of Virginia in 1825 — the nation’s tenth such institution. Over the course of almost 200 years, the School of Medicine has grown into UVA Health System – a nationally ranked, 609-bed academic medical center with a level I trauma center.
Our physicians and nurses are actively involved in research to give patients access to treatments and medications not widely available. As a result, patients travel from around the world to seek treatment with us.
The future of UVA has never looked more promising. We recently completed a 200,000-square-foot Children’s Hospital outpatient facility, the Emily Couric Clinical Cancer Center and a major bed expansion on our Medical Center grounds in Charlottesville.
While capital investments are key, what sets UVA apart is the collaborative spirit of top minds in healthcare. We rank among the nation’s best because of our doctors, nurses and others who make every effort to push the envelope of healthcare.
