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 7,325 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
part of the Medical Department affords exceptional facilities for thorough study
of patients.
