Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced that the new Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center GW Health on the St. Elizabeth's East campus will officially open on April 15, 2025. The delivery of the new hospital is part of the District’s partnership with Universal Health Services to create a comprehensive and integrated system of care for communities East of the River and all DC residents.  

The $434.4 million project includes a state-of-the-art 136-bed (expandable to 184), full-service hospital, with maternal health and delivery including a Level II NICU, a trauma center, ambulatory pavilion for physician offices, clinics, a 500-car parking garage and a helipad for emergency transports. Universal Health Services will operate and maintain the new hospital for 75 years as well as investing $75 million in health care infrastructure in Wards 7 and 8.  

Since 2015, Mayor Bowser has invested more than $900 million into the transformation of the St. Elizabeth's East campus, and the district has completed several projects, including: 

  • CareFirst Arena 
  • The Residences at St. Elizabeth's East 
  • A 750-space parking garage behind the CareFirst Arena 
  • The 801 East Men’s Shelter replacement facility 
  • District Towns at St. Elizabeth's East townhome project 
  • Sycamore & Oak  
  • Whitman-Walker Max Robinson Center 

The new hospital will enhance healthcare access East of the River and complement existing facilities like the Cedar Hill Urgent Care and Whitman-Walker Max Robinson Center, which opened in 2022 and 2023, respectively. This healthcare and research facility provides a range of services to the community, including primary, dental, behavioral health services, substance use counseling and a pharmacy.
