The hospital is the property of the University and is under the exclusive
control of its Medical Faculty. It was designed and is administered as a
teaching hospital, being so arranged that free use can be made of its clinical
patients.
The buildings are arranged upon the pavilion system, consisting of a
central structure, four stories in height, to which have been added up to
the present time five additional units including a service building. The
central building is largely devoted to administrative purposes and general
service departments, but also contains an amphitheater and suite of private
operating rooms, sterilizing and anesthetizing rooms. The four pavilions
are connected with the main building by corridors on each floor. In these
are located the wards and suites of rooms for private patients. As at
present constituted, the hospital has a capacity of about 250 beds; of these,
approximately 200 are available and used for clinical teaching.
The north pavilion contains, in addition to quarters for ward and
private patients, on the first floor, a specially designated series of laboratory
rooms, which have been equipped with new and modern furnishings and
apparatus throughout. The basement floor is devoted in large part to the
Out-Patient Department of the Hospital. Here separate waiting rooms for
white and colored patients are provided, examining rooms for medical cases,
operating rooms for minor surgery, specially equipped rooms for genito-urinary
and orthopedic surgery and for the treatment of diseases of the
eye, ear, nose and throat. On the same floor is the Roentgen Ray Department
of the hospital. The recently opened south pavilion, made possible
through the generosity of Paul Goodloe McIntire, houses the departments of
obstetrics, pediatrics and orthopedics.
Attention is particularly called to the fact that the hospital, with its
associated Out-Patient Department, constitutes a most valuable adjunct
to the teaching facilities of the Department of Medicine. The size of the
clinic permits the presentation of a wide variety of cases, and the organization
of the hospital as an integral part of the Medical Department affords
exceptional facilities for thorough study of the individual case.
The location of the University Hospital is a most favorable one, being
situated at the intersection of two great railway trunk lines near the geographical
center of the State. A large population outside of the city of
Charlottesville is available as a source of clinical material, both in the wards
and the Out-Patient Department. The hospital is thus enabled to serve
a large area of the State, and the transportation facilities are such that this
service includes a progressively increasing number of emergency cases and
cases of acute illness.
