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 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.

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.
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 300 beds; of these, approximately 225 are available and used for
clinical teaching. During the past year there were 7,314 admissions to the
hospital.

Attention is particularly called to the fact that the hospital, with its
associated Out-Patient Department, constitutes a most valuable part of
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 patients.
