The story of Roman Eagle Memorial Home, previously known as Hilltop, is heartwarming – in part, because it is a success story not only in medical progress, but more important, because it is a story of vision, dedication, and service to our community.
Roman Eagle Memorial Home is a not-for-profit organization with a rich tradition. Our long history of service to the Danville-Pittsylvania County area dates back to 1918. On January 2, 1918, the State Corporation Commission chartered the Anti-Tuberculosis League of Danville, which served as the founding organization.
In 1961, the original charter was amended to change the name from the Anti-Tuberculosis League of Danville to Roman Eagle Memorial Home, Inc., previously known as Hilltop Nursing Home. Roman Eagle Memorial Home’s original facility was constructed in 1962 in front of the original structures, which were later demolished, and the cornerstone laid on July 28, 1962.
Since its inception, Roman Eagle has undergone four expansions to its present capacity of 312-beds.
