Washington Adventist Hospital, part of Gaithersburg, Md.-based Adventist HealthCare, is the largest employer in Takoma Park, and local officials say the relocation of the hospital will be a significant loss to the community.

The move to White Oak will also allow the hospital to leave behind an outdated facility, and the new hospital campus provides easier access to patients in Montgomery County and Prince George’s County, according to The Washington Post, which cited information from hospital officials and state regulators.
