Healthcare

Competent medical professionals in the Fredericksburg area care about the physical and emotional welfare of community residents. As the population grows, more residents are discovering the quality care available to them.

Mary Washington Hospital is celebrating more than 100 years of care and concern for the community. The 412-bed hospital is a regional acute-care facility with a 24-hour emergency room, as well as intensive care, labor and delivery, acute care beds, and a sky-lit atrium entrance with a food court and other amenities.

The hospital is part of MediCorp Health System, a multifaceted organization that provides intensive care, rehabilitation, outpatient therapy, home health and behavioral health services.

This year, MediCorp will open the Stafford Hospital Center – located on Jefferson Davis Highway near Stafford Courthouse. This 100-bed hospital will provide a full range of medical services for area residents, as well as ease the shortage of hospital beds in this quickly growing region.

The Fredericksburg Region is doubly blessed, as HCA is constructing a 126-bed hospital at Massaponax in Spotsylvania County. The Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center will bring market forces to bear on the healthcare establishment by offering a wide array of services, including 24-hour emergency care, inpatient and outpatient surgery, diagnostic imaging, inpatient and outpatient surgery, obstetrics and neonatal care (including a neonatal intensive care unit), cardiac catheterization, and intensive care. The Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center will open in 2010.

Massaponnax Medical Park is conveniently located in Spotsylvania County on Cosner Drive across U.S. 17 from Lee’s Hill South and adjacent to the future campus of the Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center. The 14-acre site is a planned four-phase medical office park that will eventually include 120,000 square feet of medical specialties, diagnostic services and dental services.

Other organizations also benefit the growing population by providing quality care. Pratt Medical Center, a multi-specialty healthcare group, offers primary care and a wide range of sub-specialties. Throughout the region, residents also have access to walk-in clinics, support groups and a free primary-care clinic.
