Health Sciences Campus

Since 2014, Emory & Henry College has offered programs in the health sciences on their 15-acre campus in Marion, Va. including nursing (both pre-licensure and RN to BSN), clinical mental health counseling, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and physician assistant studies. On the former site for Smyth County Community Hospital (listed on the National Register of Historic Places), the Health Sciences Campus is recently renovated with state-of-the-art learning facilities including the Clinical Simulation Lab and Falls Prevention Center.

Our Health Sciences Campus is located in the scenic, mountainous woodlands of middle Appalachia. We are a short drive away from Hungry Mother State Park, and near our campus is Historic Downtown Marion, a destination of local shops, restaurants, and the historic Lincoln Theatre where the Schools of Health Science and Nursing have their commencement ceremonies.

A Mini Mercantile where E&H apparel and gifts are sold can be found inside the Health Sciences Campus. (See the Emory Mercantile website for information on where to shop for your favorite E&H gear.)
