Overview

Community Memorial Hospital (CMH) is a 70‑bed facility located in the heart of South Central Virginia serving residents of over 7 counties, including North Carolina due to its location just off the I‑85 interstate and its proximity to the NC border. CMH is a Primary Stroke Center and can manage acute ischemic strokes within its facility. The Acute Care unit consists of three separate nursing units for a total of 54 beds and serves a very diverse population from pediatrics to geriatrics, including medical, telemetry and surgical patients.

The average Acute Care nurse‑to‑patient ratio is 1 to 4 with additional nursing support provided by patient care technicians, patient safety associates, unit secretaries, and cardiac monitor technicians. The patient care team also consists of a 24‑hour Hospitalist and ancillary support. The community setting of CMH creates a family and patient‑centered atmosphere with outstanding teamwork not only within the department, but throughout the entire organization as team members strive to make the patient experience excellent.

Nursing leadership supports continuing education and provides multiple opportunities for team members to advance their knowledge and skills in their nursing practice. CMH continues to work diligently on expanding its services for its community through active recruitment of specialists for inpatient and outpatient units.
