Keeping You Safe
At GW Hospital, your safety and health are our top priority. That’s why we put safety protocols in place for in-office visits, including enhanced disinfection of high-traffic areas, physical distancing in the lobby and waiting areas, and required masking of all patients, visitors and staff at all times. The hospital regularly cares for patients with highly infectious disease and we continue to follow best practice guidelines to identify, isolate and care for COVID-19 patients, as well as other patients with potentially infectious disease.

Virtual Reality Helped Save Her Life
Danielle Collins was admitted to GW Hospital after she was diagnosed with a rare brain condition. She had a brain bleed caused by an abnormal tangle of blood vessels and needed surgery. Neurosurgeons at GW Hospital used advanced virtual reality technology to help save her life.
The team used VR to help plan the surgery and give Danielle a 360-degree view into her own anatomy. After the surgery, the team used VR again – this time to show Danielle the procedure was a success. She’s fully recovered now and back to her active lifestyle. “The level of care I felt was unparalleled to any I’ve ever felt in my life,” she says.
