Our broader HCA Healthcare network and the HCA Healthcare Foundation collaborate with the American Heart Association on their Getting to the Heart of Stroke™ initiative. Together, we're helping to raise awareness about the connection between heart health and stroke.

Reston Hospital performed one of the world’s first robotic minimally invasive Bertolotti’s resection surgeries, an advanced procedure for a spinal condition that can contribute to chronic lower back pain.

Bertolotti’s syndrome can be difficult to diagnose. Depending on the patient’s condition and treatment plan, some traditional approaches may involve larger incisions.

This procedure used minimally invasive surgical planning and robotic technology. For some patients, minimally invasive approaches may be associated with smaller incisions, less tissue disruption and shorter recovery times compared with traditional open procedures.

Join us in congratulating the Reston surgical team on this achievement! 👏

This , we're proud to share a patient story that shows how one urgent care visit can help connect someone to the right care at the right time.

After experiencing dizziness and stroke-like symptoms, William went to HCA Virginia-affiliated CareNow Urgent Care - Hull Street. The care team evaluated him, treated his immediate symptoms and recognized he needed emergency evaluation. From there, he was connected to Swift Creek ER, then Johnston-Willis Hospital, part of Chippenham & Johnston-Willis Hospitals, where doctors found and treated a benign pituitary tumor that had begun affecting his vision.

His experience highlights the value of connected care close to home — and how urgent care can be an important first step when symptoms need a higher level of attention.

After 172 days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Reston Hospital Center, baby Akosua is going home. 💙

Afua was 23 weeks pregnant and visiting family in Virginia when she needed emergency care. More than 5,000 miles from their home in Ghana, baby Akosua was born, weighing 1 lb., 1 oz.

As a micropreemie, little Akosua faced multiple challenges early, including respiratory complications. The skillful, compassionate care Reston's NICU team delivered helped safely send baby and mom home after their extended stay.

When you face the unexpected, our hospitals are ready with unmatched care. We're thrilled to celebrate baby Akosua, her family and the NICU team!
