St. Mary's Hospital (Richmond)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Mary's Hospital is a private hospital in the west end of Richmond, Virginia owned by Bon Secours. It counts bariatric surgery among its specialties. As of 2005, approximately 600 weight loss surgeries were performed per year at the hospital. St. Mary's is listed as one of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery Bariatric Surgery Centers of Excellence.
In early 2006, the hospital clashed with local residents over plans to create a small parking lot adjacent to the hospital. The lot was approved by the planning commission for Henrico County on March 9, 2006. As a condition of approval, Bon Secours committed to a permanent western boundary for the hospital property that constitutes the parking lot location on Maple Avenue.
