The intensity of emergency medicine.
The inventiveness to become a national role model.

George Mason University Quality Improvement of the Year Award Winner

Our Emergency Department is one of the largest and the busiest in the state, caring for more than 100,000 patients annually. Amidst all the activity is a highly efficient operation—one that has brought national recognition to our processes.

Mary Washington Healthcare Associates developed the R.A.T.E.D.-ER and Super Track systems to streamline services, decrease lengths of stay, and reduce wait times by 23 percent—a process that other hospitals are now in line to observe and adopt.

With modern workstations illuminated by skylights, our 50 private rooms and cheerful pediatric areas help put patients and families at ease. And our unique set up—with dedicated radiology, mental health, laboratory, and respiratory therapy right on the unit—allows for effortless collaboration.

With low ratios, solid nurse/physician partnerships, and excellent orientation, our ED is one in a million.
