In 1972, Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) purchased Lewis and Gale's hospital and built a 37-bed facility. In the following years, LewisGale Medical Center grew rapidly. With the 1996 addition of the Roanoke Valley Psychiatric Center - now known as LewisGale Behavioral Health Services - our facility is currently licensed for over 500 beds and serves as a regional referral center for comprehensive medical services.

When HCA acquired the former LewisGale Clinic located next to the hospital, a new organization - LewisGale Physicians - was formed. Today, our medical center, LewisGale Physicians and hundreds of independent physicians work together to provide the quality healthcare our communities expect and deserve.

HCA Healthcare has been recognized as one of the World's Most Ethical Companies® by the Ethisphere Institute more than ten times. In recent years, HCA Healthcare spent an estimated $3.7 billion in cost for the delivery of charitable care, uninsured discounts, and other uncompensated expenses.
