What happened
UVA Health purchased a 55-acre property in Albemarle County for a net price of $37.7 million, with plans to convert the 365,000-square-foot facility into a major outpatient center by 2028. This expansion is part of a larger initiative to meet surging demand, as outpatient visits in the Charlottesville area are expected to reach 1.2 million annually by 2035. Additionally, renovations are underway at the University Hospital, including finishing the top three floors of the South Tower to add beds for cancer patients, pediatrics, and the NICU.

Why it matters
The new outpatient center will help shift routine appointments and specialty clinics out of the main hospital, addressing current crowding issues. This investment supports University of Virginia’s efforts to increase capacity and keep pace with growing healthcare demand in Central Virginia.
