Southside College of Health Sciences
The history of Southside College of Health Sciences (SCHS) began as a nursing school, founded by Miss Lelia Nevins Ions as The Petersburg Training School for Nurses in 1895, which was created to bring nursing care to the Petersburg Home for the Sick; the hospital that served the city in the late 1800’s and later become the Petersburg Hospital.
The College expanded to include Radiologic Technology during the 1950’s as the development of sophisticated technology in radiography caused a greater need for technologists with a strong clinical background and added a Diagnostic Medical Sonography program in 2008.
