An exciting and important story is unfolding within our community. Chesapeake Regional Healthcare is taking bold
steps to ensure that state-of-the-art, patient-centered, high-quality health care services will continue to be offered
locally and regionally, for present and future generations.
Our hospital exists today because of the vision and support of the community we serve. We were formed as a result
of the grassroots efforts of trailblazers who insisted on having quality health care for their community. Many may
not know the story of the heroic and tireless efforts made by local citizens who fought to establish Chesapeake
General Hospital. Our original benefactors sought the Commonwealth’s approval for a hospital, secured a federal
construction grant, and raised an additional $1.2 million (the equivalent of nearly $8 million in today’s dollars) to
enable construction of our hospital. To learn more about our history, please visit ChesRegHistory.com.
