ROBINSON CEO, Bon Secours Memorial Regional Medical Center A TRADITION OF GOOD HELP Since May 30, 1998, Memorial Regional Medical Center has met two important needs in the community: to provide care and promote remembrance. On that day, residents of Richmond, Hanover and Henrico counties and the Northern Neck were fi rst able to turn to Memorial Regional for quality, compassionate health care. At the hospital, they also found evidence of the community's abiding respect and appreciation for its fallen heroes — in the names found in the chapel and courtyards framing this healing environment. Today, Memorial Regional builds on a distinctive legacy — one that includes such milestones as the formation of the Sisters of Bon Secours in Paris in 1824, the construction of the fi rst Richmond Memorial Hospital in 1957, and the founding of St. Mary's Hospital in 1966 — to fulfi ll the calling to provide good help to those in need. This publication in no way seeks to serve as a substitute for professional medical care.
