Transcript UVA Health System

History
The UVA school of medicine was founded by Thomas
Jefferson in 1825, but it wasn’t until 1901 that the first
UVA hospital was opened. Since then multiple
additions have been made to the UVA facilities,
expanding the patient capacity, as well as the
services offered. In 1984, the current UVA hospital
(referred to as the “new hospital”) was opened. Today
the UVA health system works to offer services that
exceed the expectations of patients, while upholding
the four core values of respect, integrity, stewardship,
and excellence. The UVA health system is committed
to education through the UVA School of Medicine and
School of Nursing, and is one of the leading programs
in research and clinical trials.
