NCC dedicates Park View Health Sciences Hall
Park View Hospital opened its doors in Rocky Mount on July 1, 1914. It served the surrounding community for 57 years as a hospital, as well as a training facility for nurses named the Park View School of Nursing. As the community continued to grow, the need for a larger medical facility in Rocky Mount increased. In 1971, Park View Hospital closed once the transfer of patients was completed to Nash General Hospital. The actual medical facility was located on the corner of Falls Road and Franklin Street and Park View is now just a memory. To honor the legacy of the Park View Hospital and School of Nursing, Nash Community College's Board of Trustees recently named the health sciences wing - the Park View Health Sciences Hall at a special dedication program.
