Groundbreaking Monday For New Facility To Replace Aging Cheverly Health Center

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — Construction will begin soon on a new health center for Prince George's County that will replace the aging Cheverly Health Center.

Officials gathered Monday for a groundbreaking ceremony. The 80,000-square-foot, five-story building to be located at 9001 Edmonston Rd. in Greenbelt will allow the county to expand its vaccinations and public health services while offering storage and meeting space, plus an office area.

“We are Prince George’s Proud to officially break ground on our new, state-of-the-art health center, marking yet another important step forward for Prince Georgians’ health,” said Prince George's County Executive Angela Alsobrooks. “Our goal is to offer our residents new opportunities to receive care close to home and build the kind of healthcare infrastructure this community deserves. This new building is another step forward in our administration’s strategy to improve the health of our residents, and we want to thank all of our partners who helped make this new health center possible.”

The new health center will offer a state-of-the-art ambulatory facility that will serve as a vital hub for a wide range of healthcare services, including behavioral health, dental care, disease investigation and control, a reproductive health resource center for sexually transmitted infection services and more. It also will be equipped to reduce patient wait times, enhance staff-to-patient ratios, introduce modern equipment like telehealth capabilities and streamline patient processing.

“In its expanded capacity, this facility is tailored to meet the ever-changing healthcare needs of our community,” said Matthew Levy, Prince George’s County health officer. “This new health center highlights our commitment to broadening healthcare access and delivering important public health services.”
