Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center GW Health
The $434.4 million project includes a state-of-the-art 136-bed (expandable to 184), full-service hospital, with maternal health and delivery including a Level II NICU, a trauma center, ambulatory pavilion for physician offices, clinics, a 500-car parking garage, and a helipad for emergency transports. Universal Health Services will operate and maintain the new hospital for 75 years as well as invest $75 million in health care infrastructure in Wards 7 and 8.
“The outstanding partnership between Mayor Muriel Bowser and Universal Health Services, has led to this historic time in healthcare for our region,” said Kimberly Russo, VP, Universal Health Services and CEO, The George Washington University Hospital. “Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center GW Health is part of an integrated delivery network of care that includes The George Washington University Hospital, Cedar Hill Urgent Care GW Health in Ward 8, and the Fletcher-Johnson Freestanding Emergency Department, scheduled to open in 2027 in Ward 7. This integration will ensure healthcare equity for residents of Wards 7 and 8, providing access to high-quality care in their own neighborhoods and communities. With the District Government and in continued partnership with our academic and clinical partners at the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences, The GW Medical Faculty Associates and Children’s National Hospital, we have collaborated on a plan that will truly transform healthcare in our city.”
