A local hospital is preparing to kick off a big two-year project to upgrade a portion of its facility.

Henrico Doctors’ Hospital, at 1602 Skipwith Road, will start expanding and renovating its women’s center this summer. With a 22-month construction period, the work should be finished around the spring of 2017.

The project will expand the size of the 120,000-square-foot building by 18,000 square feet. Hospital COO David Donaldson said it is too early to share the total cost of the work but that it will be a multimillion-dollar undertaking.

The Near West End hospital, owned by HCA Virginia, has undergone a series of additions, expansions, and renovations over the past decade.

This upgrade will not only upgrade services and enhance the building’s appearance, but more importantly will consolidate women’s services that are currently spread across the hospital campus.
