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]
Greensville Memorial Hospital closed in 2003 and was replaced with the Southern Regional Virginia Medical Center.[3]
In 2020, Bon Secours purchased Southern Regional Virginia Medical Center and two other regional hospitals from Community Health Systems.[4] Bon Secours changed the name, dropping the “Regional” moniker.[5]
The following year, the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Richmond blessed Southern Virginia Medical Center, making it an official Catholic hospital.[5]
