Fifteen years later, motivated by national trends in nursing education, a task force led by Mr. Mel Lipton and Mrs. Corrol Trent investigated the possibility of establishing a hospital-based college. Valley College of Health Sciences opened its doors as the first hospital-based college in the state of Virginia. The first class was admitted to the newly formed Respiratory Therapy program. In successive years, new allied health programs were added. Today, the College of Health Sciences offers certificate programs and associate and bachelor degrees in thirteen areas of study in health care.
