The History of Memorial Hospital
The history of Memorial Hospital goes back to the 50bed Shackelford Hospital on Church Street in Martinsville This Hospital served the community from 1920 until 1946 when the new Martinsville General Hospital on Starling Avenue opened with a capacity of 80 beds By 1964 community growth encouraged hospital administration to increase its capacity to 173 beds

In 1966 the Board of Trustees realized again that to keep pace with the increased health care needs of the community further growth was necessary On June 7 1970 Memorial Hospital opened its doors with a bed capacity of 223 and full range of inpatient and outpatient services

Despite out active growth for more than 80 years our vision and dedication to quality patient care and convenience continues to shape our facility Many renovations have been devoted to adding needed services for area residents Recent additions such as the Ravenel Oncology Center provide our community with specialized medical attention close to home Affiliated with Duke Universitys oncology program this stateoftheart facility is equipped to care for all needs of a patient who suffers from cancer Likewise the Julius Hermes Breast Care Center allows women the convenience of diagnostic and treatment services performed in the same facility Additionally a variety of outpatient services have also undergone recent renovations providing our patients with better access to prompt and convenience service
