George
Washington University Hospital
Within
minutes of popular tourist attractions and government headquarters,
the George Washington University Hospital serves a diverse group of
patients
— from area residents to visiting dignitaries and heads
of state. As a designated tertiary care and academic institution,
the hospital provides physicians and patients with the latest in technological
innovations for the diagnosis and treatment of the most acute clinical
conditions.
The
new George Washington University Hospital was completed in August 2002. Constructed across the
street from the previous facility, it sits on university land that was once used
as a parking lot. The property is just south of Washington Circle
and adjacent to the Foggy Bottom Metro station. The entrance
is on 23rd Street.
