Mary Washington Healthcare began in 1899 as an eight-room hospital in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Our mission to our community is clear.
Mary Washington Healthcare is a non-profit regional health system with two hospitals, four emergency departments, and over 80 healthcare facilities and wellness services. Today, it has evolved into a non-profit regional system of two hospitals (571 beds), three emergency departments, and over 50 healthcare facilities and wellness services. Our Board of Trustees is made up of community leaders who
serve in a volunteer capacity to guide our direction. Mary Washington Healthcare exists to improve the health of the people in the communities we serve. As a non-profit corporation, we invest our profits back into the organization through such activities as upgrading our technology, developing new services and hiring new staff. The result is continuous improvement in the scope and quality of care we’re able to provide to the community.

Please join us in celebrating Talia, a CNA at Mary Washington Hospital whose quiet kindness made a lasting impact on a patient during an unexpected birthday spent in the hospital.

On January 19, 1897, a group of concerned Fredericksburg citizens met to discuss the need for a hospital in their community. A Board of Regents consisting entirely of ladies was elected to find a suitable location for the hospital and to raise building funds. In 1899, the first Mary Washington Hospital opened and today, Mary Washington Healthcare continues its tradition of caring for the community.
