Congresswoman. Abigail Spanberger toured Germanna's Virtual Hospital 

Congresswoman. Abigail Spanberger toured Germanna's Virtual Hospital at its Locust Grove Campus on Thursday and was delighted with a demonstration of a computerized virtual birthing human simulator.
In December she secured $251,000 to purchase equipment for the Robert C. O’Neill Wellness Clinic.
Construction on the clinic, which will be part of the new Frank and Nancy Turnage Health Sciences Building at the Locust Grove Campus is expected to begin soon.
The clinic will provide free health care to uninsured or underinsured members of the community, many of whom live in rural areas without easy access to such services. Screenings, referrals, dental care, physical therapy, wellness evaluations and healthy living classes will be provided by students from Germanna’s nursing and health technologies program, enabling them to receive clinic hours necessary for graduation.
Eileen Dohmann, senior vice president and chief nursing officer at Mary Washington Health Care, said the clinic is a good investment “that will fill a critical need for primary care services in our community.”
"The Wellness Clinic will also offer a great learning experience for our Germanna nursing and health care students,” she said. "Our community needs the Germanna Wellness Clinic.”
