Henrico, Parham & Retreat Doctors' Hospitals

10/30/2025

50 years! Parham Doctors’ Hospital – which opened the doors for the Henrico County campus in August of 1975 – celebrated a golden milestone this month! Five decades of caring for our community!

Colleagues, physicians, local officials and friends of Parham, connected on a beautiful fall day reflecting on Parham Doctors’ history and looking ahead to its future. An innovative facility, already recognized as a specialty hospital for orthopedic care, is a leader in the region – as the only center in Central Virginia providing endoscopic spine procedures. This ultra-minimally invasive surgery offers a rapid recovery time with some post-procedure patients reporting a zero level of pain – having arrived struggling for years at level ten when other options had not delivered relief. Making innovative care like this available brings a quality of life so many are striving to return to – possible.

Smiles and excitement bubbled as long-tenured colleagues, were celebrated and new colleagues learned about 50 years of care and innovation that began in 1975. Everyone agreed, Parham Doctors’ demonstrates excellence because of the colleagues and the service of community partners.

The celebration included a ceremonial dogwood tree planted on campus – which will grow in tandem with Parham Doctors’ Hospital!

Special appreciation to our guests The Honorable Delegate Destiny LeVere Bolling of the 80th District, Henrico Co. County Manager John Vithoulkas and Henrico County Fire Chief, Jackson Baynard with Henrico County Fire and EMS, for sharing in this celebration with the team!

Happy 50th Anniversary, Parham Doctors’ Hospital!

screening looks different at every age. Experts recommend that you start talking with your doctor about your personal risk of breast cancer as early as age 25. Depending on your family history or other factors, you may qualify for genetic counseling, earlier screening or both.

If you have a higher risk of breast cancer, screening may begin as early as age 30, or 10 years before the age a close relative was diagnosed. Because each person’s health needs are unique, it’s important to talk with your doctor about a personalized approach to screening.

Organizations that set medical screening guidelines now universally recommend starting mammogram screening at age 40 if you have an average risk of breast cancer. Across our broader HCA Healthcare network, caregivers perform approximately 1.5 million mammograms each year, helping patients take proactive steps toward early detection and better outcomes. If it’s time to schedule your next mammogram, call us at 877.319.7744 or visit: https://bit.ly/4nOP72Y
