Richmond, Va. (WRIC) — HCA Virginias Chippenham and Johnston-Willis Hospitals will soon begin construction on a new free standing emergency department to be built in west Chesterfield on Hull Street, directly in front of Hobby Lobby.
The 10,000 square foot state-of-the-art Swift Creek Emergency Center is expected to open in early 2016 and will include 11 beds, a traditional adult ER, a dedicated pediatric ER with separate entrance and waiting, CT scanner, behavioral health capabilities and tele-medicine linkage to Chippenham and Johnston-Willis Hospitals.
“This location is important as it sits in the middle of one of the fastest growing areas of the greater Richmond metropolitan region,” said Tim McManus, CEO of Chippenham and Johnston-Willis Hospitals. “This service means that emergency care, when minutes often make a difference to clinical outcomes, will be closer to home.”
Swift Creek ER will be staffed by board-certified emergency medicine providers 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
