VHC Health expands Tysons facility with imaging, women’s health services

By Angela Woolsey

VHC Health patients will soon no longer have to trek to Arlington to receive mammograms or pregnancy support.

The nonprofit community health system recently expanded its Tysons Pavilion at 1760 Old Meadow Road with an imaging center, and it will launch a center focused on women’s health early next year.

Located on the building’s fourth floor (Suite 400), the 21,000-square-foot Imaging and Cardiovascular Diagnostics Center opened on Oct. 27 after approximately six months of construction. The Tysons location is VHC’s first to offer off-site imaging services outside its main campus in Arlington.

“The new imaging and cardiovascular diagnostics center was created to make care more convenient and connected for patients,” said Rich Krumenacker, VHC Health’s vice president of facilities, construction and health system services. “By offering additional services in one location, patients can see multiple specialists during a single visit and receive more coordinated care.”

According to Krumenacker, the health system targeted the Tysons Pavilion for the expansion because it already provides a range of outpatient services, including primary care, cardiology, gastroenterology, urology and colorectal surgery.

The facility also offers limited obstetrics and gynecological services for people 14 and older, such as annual appointments, visits for newly pregnant individuals and urgent care, but its women’s health support will be enhanced with the addition of a 5,500-square-foot dedicated center.

Expected to open in February 2026 on the Tysons Pavilion’s second floor (Suite 210), the center will be VHC Health’s first extension of the Charlotte S. Benjamin Center for Women’s Health based in the outpatient pavilion on its Arlington campus.

The additional services will include breast health, urogynecology, gynecologic oncology, menopause care and expanded OB/GYN care, according to VHC Health. The facility will have a dedicated lab, and patients can expect an experience similar to what they encounter at the Arlington center, Krumenacker says.

“This includes similar artwork, exam room design, and overall environment,” he told FFXnow in a statement.

The Tysons expansion continues a recent initiative by VHC Health to expand its footprint across Northern Virginia, a push that has included a proliferation of primary care clinics and other facilities in Fairfax County over the past couple of years.

Previously known as the Virginia Hospital Center, the nonprofit rebranded in 2022 to reflect its stated mission of bringing health care to patients in their communities, rather than having them visit a centralized location.

Among other projects, work continues on a demolition of the Graham Center in West Falls Church to make way for a new emergency and urgent care center. The $33 million facility will be co-located at 7260 Arlington Blvd with an outpatient imaging center. Construction will begin after the demolition, which is on track to wrap up by the end of 2025, Krumenacker says. VHC Health currently estimates that the facility will be completed by the end of 2026.

According to Krumenacker, VHC Health is also “in the early stages of planning” a new Center for Women’s Health at its Kingstowne office (5971 Kingstowne Village Parkway, Suite 300), enabling it to offer services similar to what will be available at the Tysons Pavilion. The nonprofit is targeting an opening time frame of late 2026 or early 2027 for that center, he said.
