Bon Secours breaks ground on Suffolk hospital

Bon Secours broke ground Tuesday on its $80 million Bon Secours Harbour View Hospital, which is expected to be completed in 2025.

The hospital will be 98,000 square feet and have a surgical focus, with 18 medical/surgical beds and up to four operating rooms. It will serve as an extension of other services on the Health Center at Harbour View campus, which has an emergency department, outpatient imaging, an ambulatory surgery center, outpatient lab services and physician practices.

“We are thrilled to break ground on our new Harbour View Hospital and celebrate this major milestone for our ministry and the northern Suffolk and western Hampton Roads communities,” Pat Davis-Hagens, market president of Bon Secours Hampton Roads, said in a statement. “This hospital will make a significant difference for the residents of Suffolk, who will be able to receive advanced surgical care in their own community. We look forward to continuing to expand access to quality, compassionate medical care for this community, now and well into the future.” 

The new hospital will have a 15-bed emergency department, on-site lab services and imaging services in addition to the 18 beds and operating rooms.

Bon Secours first filed for a certificate of public need approval in 2018. The architect for the new hospital is Cincinnati, Ohio-based Champlin Architecture, and Richmond-based Hourigan Group is leading construction.
