VCU Health Community Memorial Hospital is a small, rural community hospital that provides a wide range of subspecialty care to a large region. In 2017, VCU Health System built a beautiful, brand-new hospital that is both aesthetically and clinically spectacular. The family medicine residency clinic is attached to the hospital. Our department provides newborn nursery and inpatient pediatrics coverage. Current inpatient volumes are approximately 300 deliveries and 50 pediatrics admissions per calendar year. High acuity cases are transferred to a higher level of care. July 1, 2025, CMH welcomed its first class of family medicine residents. The residents spend their first year of training at our main campus in Richmond, approximately 75 miles to our north, and spend their second and third years in South Hill.
