Mayor Bowser said: “Families and parents trust Children’s National Hospital, and for good reason – because Washingtonians know to expect high-quality care and a staff that cares deeply about protecting the health and well-being of our babies, children, and teens.

“This agreement is going to change the health care landscape for moms, babies, and families not only in Ward 8, but across DC.”

Children’s National president and CEO Kurt Newman said: “Children’s National Hospital is proud to partner with Mayor Bowser, the District and Universal Health Services to offer high-quality care in a brand new facility which will be closer to home for the children and families of southeast DC.

“This new healthcare facility is a strong commitment to improving community health and the patient experience.”
