University of Virginia Hospital Centennial Celebration

Scope and content:

In 2001 Historical Collections in the Claude Moore Health Sciences Library created an exhibit that traces the history of the first century of the Hospital in words and images. One copy of the exhibit traveled from location to location in the Health System and beyond; the other set of panels were hung in a busy hospital corridor near the main entrance where they remain today. These panels form the basis for this online exhibit which now includes the addition of a section on the first 14 years of the Hospital's second century. We hope you enjoy following the history of the growth of the University of Virginia Health System as it seeks to fulfill its longstanding vision to benefit human health and improve quality of life through patient care, research, and education.

This exhibition was prepared by Hal Sharp and Janet Pearson of the Department of Historical Collections and Services, The Claude Moore Health Sciences Library.
