UVA Health Prince William Medical Center is gearing up to celebrate a significant milestone: its 60th anniversary on June 22, 2024. This commemoration marks six decades of unwavering dedication to providing healthcare services to the Prince William County community.
Debbie Fleischer, hospital spokeswoman, shared the hospital’s history and statements from employees in an email. The hospital's journey began in 1959, when Claude McLain, a dairy manager, proposed the idea of a hospital during a Manassas Kiwanis Club meeting. Groundbreaking ceremonies took place in October 1962 for the 16-acre site donated by the town of Manassas. W. Caton Merchant Jr., the driving force behind the hospital's development, led fundraising efforts, surpassing the initial $750,000 goal by raising $832,000 from 2,000 donors and securing additional federal grants of over $790,000.
