At the nexus of seven cities, where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic, you will find Macon & Joan Brock Virginia Health Sciences at Old Dominion University. In our home — among a vast and vibrant network of supporters, partners, neighbors, patients, and friends — we see grand new horizons in healthcare. Here, academics, research, care, and community engagement converge to form something new. Something bold. We are born at the intersection of two institutions — Old Dominion University (est. 1930) and Eastern Virginia Medical School (est. 1973) — steeped in a history of collective impact. A confluence of expertise and purpose forging an academic health sciences center like no other in the commonwealth. As one, we amplify our impact and unlock greater opportunities to shape young minds, make new discoveries, and improve the health of our community.
