“With the talented medical professionals from GW staffing the new hospital, thousands of Washingtonians will be able to get the right care at the right time in a world-class hospital close to home,” Bowser said. “This is a monumental step toward transforming our health care system, attacking long-standing disparities in health outcomes, and building a healthier, more equitable Washington, DC.”
Practitioners from both GWU School of Medicine and Health Sciences and GWU Medical Faculty Associates will provide the care.
The new 136-bed hospital is part of a $375 million partnership between the district and Universal Health services. It is set to break ground in 2022.
