Description

About Us
It all started in 1925 when a group of citizens set out to obtain a hospital that would serve the rich and the poor as well as measure up to quotbig cityquot standards of medicine

Centra Southside Community Hospital was originally a foundation experiment to determine if proper health care could be provided in a rural setting Construction and operating grants were made possible by the Commonwealth Fund of New York In July 1926 the Farmville Manufacturing Company was awarded the construction contract and by November 1927 Southside Community Hospital had opened its doors to patients

The original 40bed hospital cost 180000 to build and equip That expenditure minimal by todays standards has proven to be a wise investment

CSCH has been the healthcare center of Southside Virginia since opening its doors November 9 1927 Since then it has operated on a nonprofit basis with the goal of helping to heal the ill and injured The hospital now serves the residents of Amelia Appomattox Buckingham Charlotte Cumberland Lunenburg Nottoway and Prince Edward Counties
