Mary Washington Hospital Celebrates the Grand Opening of the Joe and Mary Wilson Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Mary Washington Hospital marked a special occasion on March 25 with the grand opening of its expanded Joe and Mary Wilson Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The expansion, funded by the Wilson family’s generous $5 million donation, more than doubles the NICU’s size, adding 20 private rooms and a five-bed open ward. This new space, designed with both medical care and family comfort in mind, holds deep personal meaning for the Wilsons, whose granddaughter was once a NICU patient.
Xavier Richardson, President of the Mary Washington Hospital Foundation, expressed heartfelt thanks for the Wilson family’s contribution, which ensures the hospital can continue offering exceptional care to the Fredericksburg area. As the region’s most experienced Level III NICU, Mary Washington Hospital provides 24/7 care with board-certified neonatologists and specialized pediatric experts, offering families the support they need during challenging times. The expanded NICU is a commitment to providing the best start possible for the tiniest patients and their families.
