THE PROBLEM:
While the pace of innovation in the health tech space has been accelerating rapidly, driven by factors such as advances in computing power and artificial intelligence, the availability of large amounts of data, and growing demand for more personalized care, there remain significant systemic and social factors driving health inequity, particularly access to care.
THE SOLUTION:
Opened in 2023, the Verstandig Pavilion at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital is a 477,000-square-foot expansion designed to deliver world-class, compassionate care in the Jesuit tradition of cura personalis. The facility features 156 private patient rooms, a doubled 32-room Emergency Department, and 31 advanced operating rooms, including the region’s only movable Intraoperative MRI. With a rooftop helipad for rapid transport, three levels of underground parking, and six acres of healing green space, the Pavilion combines innovative technology, thoughtful design, and patient-centered amenities. This transformative addition strengthens MedStar Georgetown’s commitment to clinical excellence, research, and education—serving patients and shaping the future of medicine for generations to come.
