Hospital Corporation of Virginia, a statewide healthcare provider, has announced that it will open an emergency center to serve Loudoun County. The facility is tentatively scheduled to open in summer 2013.

StoneSpring Emergency Center will be a $10 million facility and house 12 bays, a CT scanner and other technology needed to diagnose and treat patients with moderate-to- serious injuries and illnesses.

Like hospital emergency rooms, the facility, which will be 9,600 square feet, will be open and fully staffed 24 hours a day and seven days a week.

The center will be located on the company’s StoneSpring Medical Campus in Arcola, a 50-acre site at the intersection of Gum Spring Road and Route 50.

HCA Virginia received a Certificate of Public Need to build a 164-bed StoneSpring Medical Center on the same site as the emergency center. Once the medical center is completed in December 2015, the already standing emergency center will become part of the hospital’s operations. 

In addition to the Loudoun Emergency Center, HCA Virginia also announced that Reston Hospital will undergo a $65 million expansion, which will include the addition of four operating rooms and a new LEED-certified medical office building.

HCA Virginia is a subsidiary of HCA Inc., a Nashville, Tenn.-based company that is the leading provider of healthcare in the nation. HCA has locations in Reston and Falls Church in addition to the planned facility in Loudoun County.
