Your Impact
Fifty years ago, the founders of EVMS made a promise to the people of Hampton Roads to create a medical school that would bring more doctors and health professionals to a region in need and build a workforce capable of bringing excellent healthcare close to home. Together, we will build on our community’s vision through the creation of the Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at Old Dominion University, the largest health sciences center in the Commonwealth in Virginia.
