Sheltering Arms has opened its new state-of-the-art rehabilitation hospital in Goochland County.

The state-of-the-science hospital is constructed specifically for physical rehabilitation with 212,063 total square feet, all private patient rooms, multiple specialty units, a 9,251 square foot main therapy gym and three satellite gyms, research space, and more.

A vast repertoire of advanced rehab technology is integrated throughout the entire hospital and includes the Motek Rysen, a 360-degree over ground assistive walking device – the first of its kind in North America.

Beginning June 13, Sheltering Arms and VCU Health relocated existing beds from both organizations’ three current hospitals – Sheltering Arms Hanover (40 beds), Sheltering Arms South (28 beds), and VCU Health (46 beds) – over a two-week period. Moving patients in phases allows for the most effective accreditation and regulatory reviews, which are standard requirements at a new hospital.

Sheltering Arms Institute is situated on 46 acres in the West Creek Medical Park off Broad Street Road, just east of the state Route 288 interchange in Goochland County. The hospital opened its doors on Saturday, June 13, 2020.
