The new Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center GW Health on the St. Elizabeths East campus, located in Washington, D.C. will officially open April 15. The delivery of the new hospital is part of a partnership with Universal Health Services to create a comprehensive and integrated system of care for communities East of the River and all District of Columbia residents.
The $434.4-million project includes a 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 healthcare infrastructure in Wards 7 and 8.
The project was constructed by joint venture Turner-MCN Construction designed by HOK-McKissack & McKissack.
