CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) -- Local officials joined Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Health in breaking ground on a new medical center in Chesterfield County on Monday.
On Monday, May 19, leaders held a celebratory groundbreaking for the "Chesterfield Pavilion," to be located at 7000 Commons Plaza.
"Bringing VCU Health to Chesterfield is important to us because many of our patients live and work in this community and we’ve long served that area with a range of physician offices and other services," said Marlon Levy, senior vice president for VCU Health Sciences and CEO of VCU Health System, in a VCU Health press release.

The four-story, 100,000-square-foot facility will feature an ambulatory surgery center with four operating rooms and two procedure rooms, according to VCU Health.
There will also be a medical office building with over 45 exam and procedure rooms, as well as clinical space for the VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Care options will include a wide range of specialties, such as plastic and reconstructive surgery, oncology, gynecology and urology. Patients will be able to get mammograms and infusions, as well as access pharmacy services, specialty ambulatory clinics and more.
