Patients seeking NICU services will now be referred to Johnston-Willis Hospital, also in Richmond, 6 miles away. Both facilities are owned by Nashville, Tenn.-based HCA Healthcare.
A spokesperson for HCA did not address a question regarding Johnston-Willis’ level of accessibility for low-income patients, according to the publication. Chippenham is closer to low-income areas of Richmond.
Johnston-Willis opened a new 20-bed NICU in 2021.
Chippenham will continue to offer labor and delivery services.
