George Washington University Hospital
The George Washington University Hospital (GWUH) is a short-stay hospital in Washington, D.C. affiliated with the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. Since 2022, the hospital has been wholly owned and operated by Universal Health Services, though it maintains significant ties with George Washington University (GWU).
The current 400,000 ft2 (37,200 m2) facility was opened on August 23, 2002. It has 395 beds, holds over $45 million worth of medical equipment, and cost over $96 million to construct. The hospital is licensed by the District of Columbia Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs and accredited by the U.S. Joint Commission.
Kimberly (Kim) Russo was the chief executive officer of GWUH from June 2016, until she stepped down in April 2025. She previously served as the chief operating officer for seven years. GWU's plans to fill the position are currently unknown.
Founded in 1824 as a medical department in Columbian College (now called the George Washington University), the GW Medical School was the 11th medical school in the United States and the first in the nation's capital.
The Ronald Reagan Institute of Emergency Medicine was established at George Washington University in 1991. The department cares for nearly 85,000 patients each year, including serious injuries, as a level 1 trauma center.

The George Washington University Hospital is an ACS[clarification needed] verified level 1 trauma center GWUH receives the most critically-injured trauma patients from Washington, D.C., and the Northern Virginia area, as well as hospital transfers from Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. In 2018, the hospital was approved to construct a helipad after a many year battle to change a DC law prohibiting the construction of new helipads. The addition of this ability to receive helicopters greatly shortens the time needed to transfer critically ill patients from another hospital, or directly from an emergency scene, to receive the highest level of care for critically ill patients.
