Henrico Doctors Hospital Forest Avenue Campus Opens Phase I

Henrico Doctors Hospital Forest Avenue Campus is expanding in the Near West End.  Recently, the Forest Medical Plaza, the first phase of the expansion opened, The Times-Dispatch reports.

Groundbreaking for the next phase of the $80 million project will be in June, Nelson said.

The expansion will allow the 340-room hospital to convert semi-private rooms into private rooms, she said.

An outpatient surgery center will open early next year in a separate building and a high-tech magnetic resonance imaging machine will be added in the main hospital. In the fall of 2010, a new emergency room and heart center will open.

The last part of the expansion is scheduled for completion in late 2010 and early 2011 with a new outpatient center, laboratories and pre-admission testing areas.

I have a call into Henrico Doctors Hospital to find out more details but as of yet they haven’t returned my call, could it be they don’t take bloggers seriously?!?
