Adventist HealthCare officials this week finalized a deal that will relocate Washington Adventist Hospital closer to major highways in Montgomery County on a piece of property four times the size of the company’s existing 100-year-old facility.

Even though the purchase was envisioned long before the possibility that Prince George’s hospital network could shut down, the announcement takes on more importance given that network’s uncertain future and the fact that Adventist serves just as many Prince George’s patients as Montgomery County patients.
