Charlottesville - A Great Place to Live

Charlottesville

The University of Virginia Health System is located in the picturesque city of Charlottesville, nestled in the rolling foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Even though its surrounding population is only about 130,000 people, Charlottesville offers many of the cultural, educational and professional advantages of a large metropolitan area.
