(703) 670-1313 or (540) 659-1800In 1972, after an eight-year community fundraising effort, Potomac Hospital opened its doors to the residents of eastern Prince William, southern Fairfax and north Stafford Counties. Potomac has come a long way since then, growing from 29 patient beds, 115 employees and 61 physicians to 153 patient beds, more than 1000 employees and more than 250 medical staff members.
Before Potomac Hospital opened, there was no civilian hospital between Fredericksburg and Alexandria. Residents of eastern Prince William County knew that building their own hospital would cut travel time for medical care by 30 to 45 minutes. In 1965 the Woodbridge Jaycees hired professional consultants to study the feasibility of building a hospital in the area. Architects were hired and at least five sites were surveyed to determine the hospital's location.
In June 1968, community leaders joined together to form the Potomac Hospital Corporation, and elected John Johnson, then head of Virginia Power, as president. In 1969 the first hospital membership drive began and soon there were 3,300 members ready and willing to support the hospital's fundraising efforts. When all was said and done, over $2 million was raised by the community to help build and open Potomac Hospital.
Today, Potomac Hospital is a 153-bed, not-for-profit community hospital serving Prince William County and its surrounding communities. The mission of Potomac Hospital is to identify healthcare needs and enhance the health of our community members regardless of race, color, religion, creed or ability to pay. Potomac Hospital offers a wide range of medical specialties, a highly qualified medical and clinical staff, and state-of-the-art technology required to uphold our mission.
