On September 10, 2019, Southside Regional Medical Center (SRMC) hosted an open house and ribbon cutting for a new Women’s Health and Cancer Center. SRMC is proud to be the first facility, not just in Petersburg but the entire Tri-Cities, to align OBGYN, Breast Health, Women’s Imaging, Gynecologic Oncology and Radiation & Medical Oncology under one roof.

The new Women’s Health and Cancer Center will house offices for Southside Physicians Network Breast Surgeon Dr. Sasa-Grae Espino, independent physician Dr. Jori Carter with Women's Cancer & Wellness Institute, an expanded Women’s Imaging Center with new and larger ultrasound rooms, a bigger waiting room with improved privacy and SRMC’s existing 3D mammography capabilities. Radiation and chemotherapy (Virginia Cancer Institute) are also located in the same facility. Patients in the Tri-Cities no longer have to travel for quality care.
