Martha Jefferson Hospital is a not-for-profit health care organization that is currently transitioning from facilities in the City of Charlottesville to the Pantops area of Albemarle County. The hospital is currently the second largest employer in the City of Charlottesville.[citation needed]

History

Martha Jefferson Hospital circa 1970

Martha Jefferson Hospital was organized September 24, 1903 and its doors officially opened July 11, 1904. The hospital is named in honor of Thomas Jefferson's daughter, Martha, and in deference to W.M. Randolph, one of the hospital's founders who was the great-grandson of Martha Jefferson Randolph.[1]

Locations

East High Street

The original hospital was located on East High Street.[1]

Patterson Wing

In December 1929 the hospital was moved to a new building known as the Patterson Wing with a bed capacity of 50. It was named in honor of donors Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Patterson.[1] The wing one of Charlottesville's individually protected properties[2]

Rucker Wing

In 1954, the capacity of the hospital was increased to 112 beds with the addition of the Rucker Wing named in honor of Mr. J.W. Rucker.[1]

In 1964, additional beds were added at Martha Jefferson Hospital bringing the total beds to 136, its capacity as of 1970.[1]

Moving to Pantops

The new Martha Jefferson Hospital has been designed by Kahler Slater Architects and is being constructed by Mortenson Construction.

The hospital's official move-in day to Peter Jefferson Place will be August 28, 2011. Hospital officials will receive a certificate of occupancy on June 1, 2011[3].

Future of original campus

The hospital is seeking a single firm to develop the existing campus in the heart of Charlottesville. The hospital had originally hired Crosland Development, but that company opted out due to the ongoing economic downturn[4]. Recent reports suggest the development may happen on an incremental basis rather than being done all at once[5].
