MoCo Minute | Adventist HealthCare White Oak Medical Center expands to meet community needs

SILVER SPRING, Md. (DC News Now) — Adventist HealthCare White Oak Medical Center said it is adding 30 new patient beds by the end 2024 in order to meet the growing needs of the community.

“This is a significant move to enhance healthcare services in our region,” said Anthony Stahl, President of Adventist HealthCare White Oak Medical Center. “Our hospital has been full for several years, so adding beds is really important for our communities.”
