Cedar Hill Regional Medical Center

Operated by Universal Health Services (UHS), the facility is located east of the Anacostia River and serves residents of Wards 7 and 8, an historically underserved area of the District. The hospital integrates clinical care with community providers, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), The George Washington University Hospital, and an Urgent Care Center in Ward 8, forming a robust network of care for District residents. The facility includes 136 beds with the ability to expand to 184, a verified trauma center, adult and pediatric emergency departments, maternal health and newborn delivery services, an ambulatory pavilion, and a helipad for emergency transport. As a newly opened facility, it is still in its early operational phase, with a 45-day community impact report published in June 2025 highlighting lives saved, births, and new community job opportunities. However, early employee reviews on Indeed paint a concerning picture, with an overall rating of just 1.8 out of 5 stars based on 5 reviews, with particularly low scores for management (1.0/5), work-life balance (1.3/5), pay and benefits (1.3/5), and culture (1.3/5). Nurse reviewers have cited disorganized practices, unclear policies, and disrespectful management as significant issues during this startup period.

The organization's stated mission is to bring quality, compassionate healthcare to Washingtonians living east of the Anacostia River. The hospital emphasizes community impact, transparency, and integration with existing community providers to ensure residents of Wards 7 and 8 have access to high-quality care in their own community.
