Today's Nurse is Going Places...
Caring for the Future and Changing Lives:
 The national crisis of healthcare workforce shortage hits rural communities like Southside Virginia harder than the rest of the country.
Southside Community College, Community Memorial Healthcenter of South Hill, Halifax Regional Hospital of South Boston, Centra Southside Copmmunity Hospital of Farmville and Southern Virginia Regional Medical Center of Emporia have partnered to create a dynamic community iniative to address this shortage.
As a result of this partnership, nursing students at Southside Virginia Community College no longer have to travel to Richmond to complete their second year of study.
Now this continuing partnership is kicking off a campaign to recruit the people of Southside Virginia into nursing careers.

The Partnership
Southside Virginia Community College serves a community just a bit smaller than the state of Connecticut (the largest community college service area in Virginia!).
We are fortunate to be able to partner with many different organizations throughout the community in order to meet our mission. We are proud to be helping meet Southside's healtcare challenges, now and in the future, and we are doubly proud to have these partners working with us on this great goal:
