VCU news

By Carissa Etters

VCU Health is celebrating a new standard of outpatient care with the ribbon-cutting for its Neuroscience, Orthopaedic and Wellness Center.

The new facility is the first of its kind in the region designed to support a unique model of care, while focusing on human movement. The vision of the new N.O.W. Center is to restore motion and help patients with orthopedic and neuroscience illness to not only survive but thrive and optimize their personal potential. The five-story building is 111,000 square feet with more than 80 exam rooms and is equipped to meet the growing need for coordinated outpatient services in Central Virginia. Services and expertise offered at the center include neurosurgery (pre- and post-surgical care), neurology, orthopedics, sports medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, rheumatology, pain management and radiology.
