Hospital Posting New Signs

WOODBRIDGE, Va. — First a new name for Woodbridge’s hospital, and now new signs to mark the medical center.

Prince William County officials this month approved a request to place new signs on Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center (formerly Potomac Hospital).

The new signs are designed to help drivers better locate the hospital, find their way around campus, and to help better brand the Sentara name in the area.

Sentara purchased Potomac Hospital in 2009 and since then has opened a healthcare facility in Lake Ridge. Last year, Potomac Hospital became Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center – a name it had since opening in 1973.

When the new signs were approved at a meeting of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, officials joked the hospital would always be known to many as Potomac Hospital.
