Mary Washington Healthcare

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.

We want to take a minute to give a huge shout out and thank you to all our team members who are working hard over this snowy weekend. We have doctors, nurses and other caregivers sleeping in the hospital to make sure they are present for their shifts. Chaplains holding Sunday services for anyone free to join. Engineers keeping the heat on and the facilities running smoothly. Crews working to clear parking lots and shovel sidewalks. Supply chain team members ensuring everyone has what they need. IT team members making sure anyone working remotely has the access they need. Food service employees making extra food to feed not only our patients but everyone staying over in the hospitals. This list could go on and on. We are of the teamwork and compassion on display every day at Mary Washington Healthcare.

Mary Washington Healthcare is proud to partner with Reynolds Community College to grow the next generation of respiratory therapists. Students take classes through Reynolds and get their hands-on training right here at Mary Washington Hospital. Yesterday, our students had their first day in our simulation lab. Kelsey is a second year student, graduating in May. She currently works at MWHC as a respiratory apprentice as well as sim lab assistant, and she'll be joining us full time as a registered respiratory therapist in the summer. Justin is starting his second semester, and in the summer, we will hire him as an RT apprentice and he'll graduate in 2027. Ermina was just hired as an RT assistant here at MWH and she's super excited to join our team—she also graduates in 2027. Also pictured is the amazing Jeanette Ellis, respiratory educator. ❤️ 🫁

Congratulations to our latest Star Thrower Award winner, Becky at Stafford Hospital! Becky was nominated by a colleague in the radiology department who said she is truly the heart of the department. She keeps outpatients informed about delays, greets them with a warm smile and friendly attitude, and makes sure they are comfortable while in the waiting room. She prepares orders and paperwork weeks in advance and goes above and beyond if anything additional is needed. She sets a positive tone for anyone entering the department and supports the radiology team, creating a warm and friendly work environment.
Becky, you are amazing, and we want to thank you for all you do for our patients AND for your fellow associates! We are you're on our team.

Our Story

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.

Mary Washington Healthcare is proud to offer:

One of the nation’s 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals, named by IBM Watson Health (Mary Washington Hospital);

One of only 22 Virginia hospitals that are Magnet recognized (MWH);
