Washington DC – Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center GW Health announced a broad expansion of its clinical offerings to better serve the city’s neighborhoods, especially Ward 7 and Ward 8. The hospital now provides a full suite of cardiac, obstetric, neonatal, pediatric, surgical and kidney‑care services, all under one roof.
Cardiology and Heart Health
Patients can now receive diagnosis and treatment for heart attacks, heart failure, rhythm disorders, coronary artery disease, vascular disease, deep‑vein thrombosis and peripheral arterial disease. A dedicated cardiac catheterization lab enables minimally invasive testing and procedures, allowing faster, safer care for cardiovascular patients.
Obstetrics, Maternity and Neonatal Care
For the first time in nearly a decade, residents of Wards 7 and 8 have a local maternity unit. The hospital features four private labor‑and‑delivery suites, 14 private postpartum rooms, two cesarean‑section operating rooms and a 24/7 emergency OB team. A five‑bed Level II Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) offers specialized care for newborns who need extra support. Families also have access to lactation counseling, postpartum recovery services and general gynecology, including family‑planning and menopause care.
Pediatric Emergency Services
The dedicated Pediatric Emergency Department serves children from birth through high school. Separate registration, triage and waiting areas create a child‑friendly environment, ensuring that young patients receive prompt, age‑appropriate treatment.
Surgical Options
Cedar Hill provides both inpatient and outpatient general and specialty surgeries. Procedures include abdominal, gynecological, vascular and cesarean‑section operations, as well as surgeries on the appendix, colon, gallbladder, stomach and intestines. When appropriate, patients may qualify for minimally invasive techniques that reduce recovery time.
Kidney Care
The hospital’s kidney‑care program addresses conditions linked to heart disease, diabetes, lupus, pre‑eclampsia and pregnancy. Services cover chronic kidney disease, acute kidney injury, critical‑care nephrology and kidney‑stone treatment, offering comprehensive support for patients with renal concerns.
Radiology and Imaging
Convenient on‑site imaging includes X‑ray, MRI, CT and ultrasound. Walk‑in X‑ray appointments are available Monday through Friday, 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., reducing the need for external referrals.
Rehabilitation Services
Outpatient physical therapy helps patients regain strength and independence after trauma, surgery or illness. The hospital emphasizes personalized rehabilitation plans to promote faster recovery.
Future Growth
Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center GW Health says it will continue investing in new technology and equipment to broaden its specialty offerings. The hospital invites community members to view the full list of inpatient and outpatient services on its website.
