50 years! Parham Doctors’ Hospital – which opened the doors for the Henrico County campus in August of 1975 – celebrated a golden milestone this month! Five decades of caring for our community!

Making innovative care like this available brings a quality of life so many are striving to return to – possible. Smiles and excitement bubbled as long-tenured colleagues, were celebrated and new colleagues learned about 50 years of care and innovation that began in 1975. Everyone agreed, Parham Doctors’ demonstrates excellence because of the colleagues and the service of community partners.
