Services
Norfolk General Hospital is equipped with 106 beds[4] and a helipad.[5] Recent improvements include expansion of the emergency room[1] and installed of CAT scan equipment.[6] Doctors with hospital privileges include specialists and surgeons[7]. The hospital also houses a nursing home for the elderly and the severely handicapped.
Recent economic problems have forced the hospital to close three beds,[8] making some nursing jobs redundant. A lack of demand, attributed to more seniors staying at home, was also cited as a reason for the closure.[8]
