Dove of Love Family & Maternity Hospital.
On March 15, 2008, Mr. Misfit March put his wifes(Rowanda Simons) dream and his building skills together and built the first virtual hospital in SecondLife.

I took the time to interview Rowanda Simons (Owner)
Question: SadeCollins: Why did you open a Hospital?

Answer: Rowanda Simons: "Because of my BAD experiences in SecondLife with OB/GYN and Child Birth."

Question: Sade Collins: What makes your facility different from others?

Answer: Rowanda Simons: The interactions from real people behind the Avatars who make it as close to real life as possiable.

Question: Sade Collins: What is your Goal?

Answer: Rowanda Simons: The Birth of a child is very special to me and I want the Women of SecondLife to have an oppertunity to share in all the JOY and Happiness in Family. "

Here at Dove Of Love Hospital, the woman is cared for from the time of confirmed pregnancy throughout the birth of her baby and after. The Babies are known as Prim Babies cry, laugh, asked for food and crave attention. Like in real life Expecting mothers and babies are given WIC that can be eaten, regular checkups and total care.

But this Hospital is Not only for Women to give birth, But Families( children and men) also can come here when sick and recieve treatment. This is a full service hospital with staff to assist you with your needs.

Patients from the Dove of Love Clinic are being seen currently. But the Grand Opening for the all new Dove of Love Hospital is March 30, 2008 @ 7: AM slt to 6:PM slt- Following With a Gala Event with the Sexy Divas at Fantasia – Resort "Club Love "come out bring your family and join us Tours will be given as needed.

The University of South Florida, Health Sciences Center has a virtual campus in Second Life. This includes the College of Medicine, College of Nursing, College of Public Health, and The Medical Clinics.

These colleges are complete with conference rooms, lounges, labs, and exam rooms.

Some of the avatars include our Second Life patient Vita who visits the clinics and also gives tours, and Dean Steven Klasko, Vice President for USF Health and Dean, USF College of Medicine.

The islands can be found at USF Health and USF Health II.

This is certainly not the first hospital in Second Life, although it might be the first one that is not strictly a maternity hospital. I was at a hospital several weeks ago for the birth of a sl friends first child...Congrats to the couple however..

Let us not forget Caledon Regency Hospital, the headquarters of the Caledon Red Cross, and offering the latest medical technology that the 19th century has to offer!

Your artical says that Dove of Love Family & Maternity Hospital was the first and that really isn't true. Avatar's Aspen Anansi, and Starcom Luchador used to run a medical center for over a year. But eventually closed up shop. It was a combination Medical Center and Mental Center where people could go and talk about thier problems as Avatars. When you walked into the place it looked like a Family Practice Center. Very well done. Several Virtual Births were preformed there too.

It's great to see dreams come true in SL, but this definitely is not the first hospital in SL. The AMMC has a facility with birthing, surgery and is currently puting together a pathology department as well.
