Bowser Forges Pacts to Bring New Hospitals to D.C.
Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has struck separate agreements to build two new hospitals in the city. They include a 136-bed facility at St. Elizabeths East that will be operated by a partnership of Universal Health Services and George Washington University, and a 225-bed Howard University Hospital on Georgia Avenue NW.
“While D.C. continues to battle this pandemic, our team has remained committed to delivering hope and a better D.C. through a more equitable healthcare system,” said Bowser. Both projects must still be approved by the D.C. Council.
With construction funded by the District, the new $306-million hospital at St. Elizabeths East is expected to open in the fall of 2024. It will include capacity to expand to 196 beds. Howard and its new operating partner, Adventist Healthcare, expect to open a $450-million facility in 2026. Funding includes a $225-million tax abatement from the District.
