When it comes to choosing a hospital, one thing is clear: quality counts. And a century-long tradition of providing medical care in a comfortable and convenient environment means peace of mind for the thousands of patients who are cared for by the doctors and nurses at The George Washington University Hospital each year.

Just minutes from Washington, DC's tourist sites and government headquarters, The George Washington University Hospital serves a diverse group of patients, from area residents to visiting dignitaries and heads of state.

In 2022-2023, The George Washington Hospital was ranked by U.S. News and World Report as "high performing" in two adult specialties – Neurology & Neurosurgery and Urology – and in six procedures/conditions: COPD, heart attack, heart failure, kidney failure, lung cancer surgery, and stroke.

Since the current The George Washington University Hospital building opened in 2002, physicians and nurses have been treating patients in a technologically advanced hospital. With millions of dollars of medical equipment, and a completely wireless network, GW Hospital offers advanced and innovative healthcare in a warm, friendly environment.

The George Washington University Hospital is owned and operated by a subsidiary of Universal Health Services, Inc. (UHS), a King of Prussia, PA-based company, that is one of the largest healthcare management companies in the nation.
