MedStar: Georgetown Hospital is Staying Put

MedStar Georgetown University Hospital is not moving, a hospital spokesperson insists.

Last week the Washington Post reported that a developer of the downtown Capitol Crossing site over I-395 said the location was perfect for Georgetown's hospital.

“We think this is a great site for a medical school or hospital facility,” Robert Braunohler, Property Group Partners regional vice president, told the Post.

For Georgetowners the most meaningful part of a possible relocation was what would happen with the space if and when the hospital relocated.

Neighbors were quick to comment on the Patch article about the rumored move.

"Works for me, if they'll actually convert the old hospital into dorms" .

But the Washington Business Journal reports that the move was merely wishful thinking by the developer and not a likely reality.

"We are not planning on moving MedStar Georgetown University Hospital," Marianne Worley, spokeswoman for MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, told the Washington Business Journal.
