Fluvanna County residents will soon have closer access to specialized medical care, following a major expansion of UVA Health’s Medical Park in Zion Crossroads.
The 12,000-square-foot expansion adds 30 exam and consultation rooms and an on-site laboratory. Pharmacy services and imaging are also available.
Patients will be able to access a wide range of specialties, including cardiology, dermatology, nephrology, pulmonary and respiratory care, orthopedics, urology, and women’s health. They have also added adult and pediatric allergy specialists and treatment for inflammatory bowel disease.
“We want to ensure patients can receive the highest-quality care at a time and place that is convenient for them,” said UVA Health CEO Mitchell Rosner, M.D. “This additional space at Zion Crossroads will enable us to serve significantly more patients in a welcoming environment.”
The expanded services are expected to add an estimated 50,000 new appointment slots annually.
Eric Swensen, a public information officer for UVA Health, said decisions about which specialties to offer were based on an analysis of how many patients from the Zion Crossroads area were traveling to Charlottesville-based specialists.
The medical park will not offer urgent care or emergency medical services, though Swensen said that is “something we may consider in the future.”
The Zion Crossroads Medical Park is located at 1015 Spring Creek Parkway, just off Exit 136 on I-64. Free parking is available. For appointments, call 434-234-1961.
