Fredericksburg-area residents have a new healthcare option after opening a new emergency room on Route 3.
Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center opened its Fredericksburg ER at 5005 Plank Road in Spotsylvania. The Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting on February 23.
The full-service center has 11 rooms and 10 exam rooms and treats adults and children. More serious cases may be taken to Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center, about nine miles away.
The facility, like Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center, is managed by HCA, Virginia, which, along with Mary Washington Healthcare, are the region’s primary medical providers.
Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center says:
Fredericksburg ER, a campus of Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center, is now officially open at 5005 Plank Road, Spotsylvania, VA 22407. The new freestanding Fredericksburg ER is located on Route 3 across the street from Royal Farms and located next to Meadow Farms Nursery. This 12,000 square-foot facility is approximately 8 miles from Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center.
“We’ve seen our community grow tremendously in recent years, and this new freestanding emergency room allows us to meet the need for 24/7 emergency care close to where people live and work,” said Ryan DeWeese, chief executive officer of Spotsylvania Regional Medical Center. “We are excited to open this new campus where members of our community can come for convenient, comprehensive, emergency medical care.”
The state-of-the-art ER will be staffed with board-certified emergency medicine physicians and nurses, 24-hours a day, 365 days a year, just like an emergency room that is housed within the walls of a hospital.
