Maryview Medical Center was founded in 1945 when the Federal Government recognized a need in Portsmouth for a facility which would serve the health care needs of shipyard workers. When the war ended later that year, Maryview dedicated its mission to caring for polio victims, numerous in those days. The Diocese of Richmond called for organizations to manage the new health care facility, and the Daughters of Wisdom, an order of Catholic Nuns from Canada, responded to the call. They successfully operated Maryview until 1984, when the Diocese transferred the sponsorship of the facility to the newly-formed Bon Secours Health System, Inc., based in Maryland. The Bon Secours Health System is owned and operated by the Sisters of Bon Secours. Since its first day of operation nearly 60 years ago, Maryview has continued to hold the best interests of the community at heart by caring for all those in need and expanding its breadth of services. In May, 1996, Maryview completed the transfer of sponsorship of Portsmouth General Hospital, and is now the only civilian hospital in operation in the City of Portsmouth.
