Fort Belvoir Hospital Update
 
Colonel Charles Callahan and Dr. Richard Repeta updated the SFDC Board of Directors and Committee members during a special October 22 meeting about the status of the Fort Belvoir Hospital. The new 120 bed community based Hospital will provide 55 primary and specialty clinics, and employ 3,198 staff members.  The Military Health Facility was designed with "evidence-based design" principles and goals and will be a Silver level LEED Certification project.  The 1.2 million square foot project was also inspired from the soaring eagles over Fort Belvoir and Accotink Bay Refuge on the Potomac River and nearby historic Mount Vernon and Woodlawn Estate.
