Cedar Hill Releases 45-Day Community Impact Report

 

Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center GW Health (CHRMC) shared its 45-Day Community Impact Report — a snapshot of the lives impacted since opening their doors. The report highlights the lives touched, the care delivered, and the promise to keep for Washingtonians, especially for communities in Wards 7 and 8. This report reflects the heart and hard work of Cedar Hill providers, staff, and community partners. In the first 45 days, the emergency department (ED) saw 5,323 patient visits — including 4,006 adult and 1,317 pediatric visits. That’s more than double the average daily ED volume previously seen at United Medical Center. It confirms the demand for quality health care in this region is deep and urgent. While the ED team rose to meet this demand, data revealed a concerning reality: 80 percent of the ED visits could have been treated in a primary or urgent care setting. This reinforces the urgent need for expanded access to preventive and routine care — access that is on the way as CHRMC will open new primary care, OB/GYN, and dialysis clinics to fill this critical gap.
