During a special meeting of the Health Systems Agency of Northern Virginia on Monday, there was an overwhelming vote of support for a hospital to be built in Western Prince William County. The board voted in support of Prince William Health System’s plan to build a facility on the grounds of the current Heathcote Health Center. The agency’s recommendations will now be voted on by the state health commission.

In a recent News & Messenger article, one agency member said the Prince William Health System plan made more sense as it was a better location and less costly than Sentara’s proposal.
