In October 2020, VCU Health completed the acquisition of Riverside Tappahannock Hospital, marking a significant milestone. Today, VCU Tappahannock Hospital is dedicated to advancing healthcare within our community and neighboring counties, guided by VCU Health's commitment to excellence, affordability, and community impact. Situated in the idyllic Middle Peninsula, our hospital serves the Northern Neck region, renowned for its quaint charm and leisurely summers along the picturesque Rappahannock River.

While VCU Tappahannock Hospital functions as a satellite facility compared to the larger VCU Health Medical Center in Downtown Richmond, Virginia, our standard of care remains uncompromised. Equipped with essential departments including Emergency, Critical Care, Operating Room, and Acute Care Units, our hospital thrives as a vital healthcare hub.


The Environmental Services Aide maintains the facilities within the highest quality standards for the industry while complying with all federal, state and local regulatory agencies’ guidelines.
