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 material without
in any way disturbing or violating the privacy of other 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 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 Deaprtment 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.
