A New 136-Bed Hospital Is Coming To  Ward 8

After years of planning, a  new hospital  is finally coming to the St. Elizabeths East campus in Ward 8.

Announcing the latest development during the ground breaking ceremony this week, DC community leaders led by Mayor Bowser  added that the new Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center, GW Health will  offer the following resources:

  • A certified trauma center
  • Women’s health services, including newborn delivery with a neonatal intensive care unit
  • A full range of hospital, emergency, and specialty care services, including but not limited to orthopedic, liver, heart, kidney, brain, bones and joint care – all staffed by practitioners from GW Medical Faculty Associates in coordination with the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences
  • A children’s emergency department and neonatal care unit staffed by Children’s National Hospital
When it opens in 2024, the Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center, GW Health will be fully integrated with two new urgent care facilities, existing providers, and the George Washington University Hospital to establish a robust system of care for all District residents and in particular, communities east of the Anacostia River.  – Mayor Bowser
