Halifax Regional Health System (HRHS) is non-profit, community owned and locally governed organization located in South Boston, Virginia. We are a fully integrated healthcare provider serving over 100,000 residents over a five county area in southern Virginia. Beyond our 173-bed acute care hospital, we own and operate two nursing homes, and Alzheimer’s facility, a home health care and hospice agency, and four primary care clinics in our service region. We have approximately 125 doctors on staff and employ about 1,200 people at HRHS.

The newest primary care clinic, Halifax Primary Care (HPC), was opened in South Boston in July of 2007. In June, 2009, HPC moved into a new 10,000 square foot state-of-the-art clinic here in town. The clinic is currently staffed by five physicians and one mid-level extender with a support staff of fifteen clinical and clerical employees. The facility was designed for easy expansion as additional doctors are recruited and more patients are served from this area.

HRHS and HPC fully support the efforts to provide convenient high quality medical care to all veterans residing in our service region. If we meet the criteria and can fulfill the standards required as a provider of medical services to the veteran population, HPC would consider it an honor and a privilege to help better serve such a distinguished constituency of patients. We have been working closely with the local Veteran’s Clinic Steering Committee and hope that South Boston is approved as Veterans primary care site. It will certainly help those veterans who now must now travel long distances for these type services.
