The Fuller house can be seen at its new location lower left in the photo below. Hughes, and a new charter was issued in January However, that decision was not well received in the community or by the local newspaper because Mr. Hughes name had been omitted. By September , plans for the new building were completed and approved by the building committee.
The contract for construction of the building was let to C. Webber of Danville in January The Bee noted the unusual size of the passenger elevators — large enough to admit wheeled stretchers.

While used for a time as nursing homes, these houses were soon demolished. Even before construction had been completed, consideration given to a merger with Edmunds Hospital above. A committee of doctors from the Danville Academy of Medicine discussed the matter with Dr. Edmunds, and suggested that consolidation would occur early in Edmunds had no statement to make at that time, and continued operating his facility until his move to Reidsville in The new building was set back about 90 feet from South Main Street, creating an imposing presence.
The Bee included an entire section on the new hospital on July 5, After several days of public tours, Memorial Hospital opened on July 8, , with the transfer of patients from the General Hospital.
Postcard History Series In , Memorial Hospital was enlarged by 50 beds to a total bed capacity of with an addition to the rear west next to the old Fuller House. Memorial Hospital Expansion Image: Danville, A Pictorial History By the fall of , the need for more hospital beds had become acute. This brought more patients to the hospitals — many of whom could not afford hospital care. Then Community Hospital announced its closing, primarily for financial reasons.
And there was little possibility of expansion because all available materials were also going to the war effort. Community Hospital was reopened to fill the need for additional beds, and remained open until when the next Memorial Hospital expansion was completed.
As a result, the Memorial Hospital building was again extended to the north and south and a new east wing was completed in , bringing the hospital nearly to the South Main Street sidewalk. Capacity rose to beds and 50 bassinets. Memorial Hospital with Nurses Home Image: An Extended Care facility was added early in with a 92 bed capacity.
This addition freed many beds for acute care patients. By , nursing education had returned to the hospital complex and plans were drawn to create a hospital subsidiary, Stratford House, as an independent living community. The present Stratford House opened in with its assisted living facility opened in Liepe Memorial Hospital nearly doubled in size in with construction of its Memorial South addition.
The two-year construction project provided 80 private rooms along with new facilities for intensive care, coronary care, operating rooms, x-ray, pharmacy, and central supply services. This addition is now largely hidden by later construction. Danville, A Pictorial History April finally brought an end to the hospital name controversy. Liepe Further expansion plans were also announced in These funds were used to create the Danville Regional Foundation.
There were stipulations to the sale, including two empty floors in the Wyatt Building were to be fitted into an additional 92 beds. This was completed in The Stratford House would be spun off as an independent organization, completed in , and the Foundation House would become an arm of Danville-Pittsylvania Community Services. The most easily viewed section is directly above the Emergency Room entrance. The north portion of the building is at center-left in this photo. Two additions are also visible — the east wing at left and north wing at right.
The emergency entrance was completed in Hughes would certainly be surprised by a visit their Danville hospital today, shown below.
Southern Virginia Mental Health Institute. Accepting its first patients in , SVMHI performs a comprehensive psychological assessment is completed on each patient upon admission to the facility. Three phases of treatment are afforded — stabilization, intermediate care, and community reintegration. There have been many proposals for an additional hospital in Danville. With the temporary closing of Community Hospital in , there were many calls for a new second hospital. A site in Ballou Park was proposed, where there was already a controversy over removing trees for a proposed 9-hole golf course.
Ultimately Council gave a section of the park near the river to the Dan River Hospital Association for construction of an 80 bed facility and requested federal funds for the preparation of plans. This proposal did not move forward, and the land reverted to the City. Yet another new hospital was again proposed in by a group of citizens possibly backed by a large civic organization. However, this was to be considered only if the board of Memorial Hospital decided against further expansion.
A group of north side women petitioned for a second hospital in , which became an issue in the race to elect City Councilmen. However, no action was taken.

In , Extendicare, a Louisville-based firm proposed construction of a bed full service hospital, off Piney Forest Road. At that time, Extendicare operated 33 hospitals and 44 nursing homes. Despite strong support from north side and Pittsylvania County residents, the proposal was ultimately dropped due to opposition from local doctors who believed that better care could be achieved through a single larger hospital.
Lynchburg-based Centra planned to create an out-patient surgical center, a freestanding emergency department, and a diagnostic imaging center. Their request for a certificate of public need was denied by the State health commissioner, partly out of concern for the financial stability of DRMC. Not to be dissuaded, Centra opened several clinics in Danville and, in April , announced that it would build the Centra Danville Medical Center, consolidating all of its Danville facilities under one roof. That Centra building, conceptualized below, is now under construction. There is little doubt that medical care, including hospitals, will change as much in the coming years as they have in the recent past.
Some say that hospitals will become more integrated, providing all health care services from a central facility. However, there is already a trend toward more outpatient services and fewer admissions. As technology advances, it seems that more and more tests and procedures could be performed at local clinics or even in the home, leaving hospitals to treat only the most critically ill patients. And genetic or regenerative medicine may eliminate many condition and diseases. Historical Sketch of the Roman Eagle Lodge Danville Virginia, Postcard History Series.
