The $37 million facility at 11400 N. Lakeridge Parkway, called the Ashland Emergency Center, will be an outpost of the Bon Secours hospital in Mechanicsville.

Citing delays and other challenges at the massive Courthouse Landing project in Chesterfield, VCU Health is looking to move a proposed outpatient medical center out of the planned mixed-use development in favor of a site nearby.

Several years after opening an emergency department in Short Pump, the health system is working on plans to further expand its presence in western Henrico. 

Two Richmond-area medical practices, each looking to remain in business while sorting out respective financial struggles, have sought bankruptcy protection in recent weeks.

Commonwealth Senior Living paid $3 million for the facility in Bon Air, adding to another location in Chesterfield and one in Henrico.

At Home Harmony, formerly called Synergy Healthcare, is also rolling out a new support service for patients with dementia.

The first building would be followed by a second one to create the Bell Creek Medical Pavilion with a total of 73,000 square feet of Class-A medical office space.

Just a year after opening a massive expansion of its downtown pediatric hospital, the health system is already looking to expand the facility’s capacity.

The project is the largest to take place at St. Francis since it opened in 2005, and was pursued by the health system to keep up with the demands that come with a growing population in Chesterfield.

The health system is expanding its urgent care arm by picking up where a short-lived clinic left off in the Fresh Market-anchored Carytown Place shopping center.
