Sentara Health Ups Investment in New Halifax Hospital to $107M

Sentara Health will invest more than $107 million to build the new Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital, a significant increase from the $70 million preliminary plan first announced in 2023. Located in South Boston, Virginia, the project is scheduled for completion in summer 2026. The acute care hospital will be constructed with the capacity to expand its footprint as patient demand requires, ensuring the community has access to quality healthcare for generations to come. The project team includes Kahler Slater, ODELL and Whiting-Turner.

The new Sentara Halifax Regional Hospital and campus will be a hub of comprehensive healthcare services, including general surgical services, intensive care, inpatient treatment, observation beds, an emergency department and more. The campus will also include a new helipad on site that will provide faster access to critical emergency care services and improve transport times.

For more than a year, Sentara has been developing plans that will meet the evolving needs of the Halifax region, working with clinicians to ensure the space and footprint maximize positive patient outcomes and care. Utilizing mock patient rooms, clinicians can simulate how the new space will work in practice, allowing for continued enhancement to ensure the best treatment and patient experience. Plans call for abundant green spaces. Each patient room will have a window for natural sunlight, a private bathroom, and accommodations for overnight guest stays.
