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.
