Kaiser Permanente’s Caton Hill Medical Center: September, 2022

On September 19th, 2022, the Kaiser Permanente Caton Hill Medical Center opened, replacing the Woodbridge Medical Center with a new 245,000-square foot medical center in Prince William County.  Four days before the first day of service, Kaiser Permanente held a ribbon cutting ceremony with addresses from Kaiser Permanente directors and Prince William County leadership.

The new Kaiser Permanente hub includes 24/7 advanced urgent care, an outpatient surgical facility, a full featured radioimagery center, and 30 specialties including family medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics & gynecology, neurology, oncology, behavioral health, cardiology, pain management, ophthalmology, and optometry.  The complex is LEED Silver certified, and is expected to serve ~40,000 patients and ~320,000 visits each year.

I’m sharing some highlights from covering the event and new facility here.

After the ribbon cutting events, groups of guests were taken on guided tours and allowed the opportunity to explore the new medical campus.

Happy Thanksgiving and an Update!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I know I’ve been absent lately; as some of you may know, the first week of October I underwent knee surgery to replace a ligament I tore in May, and I’ve been recovering since then. I am 7 weeks post-op as of yesterday, and today I am thankful for a successful surgery (and hopeful for a continued successful recovery).

Last week I had my first two photoshoots since the surgery; I am walking and taking photoshoots again, though I’m currently being selective to ensure the shoots I take are safe for me while my knee continues to heal up. After having to skip hiking and a lot of other things this Summer, I’m looking forward to starting 2018 with a healthy, strong, and stable knee just like new.

Happy Thanksgiving!
