History
Founded in 1915, Riverside Health System was originally established as a small hospital. The health system and each major facility in the organization are governed by a voluntary Board of Trustees of community leaders.
Riverside employs over 7,000 people in over 100 locations in the Greater Peninsula-Williamsburg region and Middle Peninsula-Northern Neck communities of eastern Virginia.

Riverside operates 1030 acute inpatient beds in four acute care hospitals, a psychiatric hospital and a physical rehabilitation hospital.
The flagship of the organization is Riverside Regional Medical Center (RRMC) in Newport News, Va. RRMC provides a regional cancer treatment center, a regional radiosurgery center in partnership with the University of Virginia Health System and the area’s only Open Heart surgery program and the region’s Level II Trauma Center.
