Third operating room, MRI suite and additional facility space being added
Williamsburg, Va. – A ceremonial beam-raising on Tuesday, August 7, 2018 marked a milestone in construction underway at Riverside Doctors’ Hospital Williamsburg. The hospital is adding a third operating room, new diagnostic space for its relocated MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) full-body scanner as well as additional square footage for storage and other needs. Completion of the project is scheduled for the first quarter of 2019. The official ceremony included local dignitaries, Riverside executives and team members, as well as people from the volunteer corps and media.
“This much-needed, two-story addition to Doctors’ Hospital allows us to continue to fulfill our mission, which is to care for others as we would care for those we love,” said Adria Vanhoozier, Vice President/Administrator at Riverside Doctors’ Hospital Williamsburg. “The need for additional operating space was vital as we continue to invest and grow our specialty care providers and services for the community. Moving the MRI from our Kings Way facility to the hospital translates into more seamless, onsite care for our patients. The growth and expansion of these two services demonstrates Riverside Doctors’ Hospital’s commitment to invest, grow and serve the greater Williamsburg community.”
