Hampton General Hospital Circa 1950

The quote above titles an article from the Hampton County Guardian on November 8 1950 acknowledging the opening and dedication of Hampton General Hospital The original hospital was constructed over 14 acres on land given by Mrs Elizabeth M Rentz in memory of her late husband William H Rentz of Varnville

The history of Hampton Regional Medical Center is the history of medicine in Hampton CountyThe hospital then known as Hampton General Hospital was built at a total cost of 283000 and dedicated on November 1 1950

Hampton General Hospital was a countyowned facility that was governed by a board of directors selected by the Hampton County Council This is a typical form of hospital governance and not uncommon today The hospital was renovated and addedon to over a dozen times over the years

In 1995 Hampton County Council converted the hospital to a private notforprofit hospital a 501c3 corporation and turned the governance over to a community based voluntary board of directors At that time the hospital was renamed Hampton Regional Medical Center

Under a new form of governance and under new management HRMC has prospered and grown to become one of the countys largest employers The hospital is at the center of a growing medical community and in 2005 was named one of the Top 100 hospitals in the United States by Cleverley amp Associates

In early 2009 Hampton Regional Medical Center became an affiliate of Roper St Francis Healthcare in Charleston This affilation brings the residents of the hospitals and service area east access to the finest health care technology virtually every medical specialty and almost 800 physicians
