VCU Health Proposes New Hospital in Chesterfield
June 5, 2025 - 06:09
VCU Health is taking steps to expand its services by seeking regulatory approval for a new 66-bed hospital located at 7220 Beach Road, adjacent to the county’s government complex. This marks a significant development for the health system as it aims to enhance healthcare access in the rapidly growing Chesterfield area.
The proposed facility is expected to cater to the increasing population and demand for medical services in the region. As VCU Health moves forward with its plans, it faces potential competition from HCA, which is reportedly considering the establishment of a second hospital in Chesterfield.
The introduction of a new hospital could have a transformative impact on local healthcare, providing more options for residents and potentially improving patient outcomes. Community feedback will play a crucial role in the approval process, as stakeholders assess the benefits and implications of adding another healthcare facility to the area.
