Bon Secours Breaks Ground on New Emergency Center in Chesterfield County

Richmond Petersburg, VA, October 7, 2026 — Bon Secours has initiated construction on a new medical facility in Chesterfield County, Virginia. The project involves the development of a 14,800-square-foot stand-alone emergency center.

The groundbreaking ceremony marks the beginning of the construction phase for the new emergency center. This facility is slated to be located in Chesterfield County, a growing suburban area south of Richmond. Specific details place the site near Iron Bridge Road, at the former location of a Ukrop’s grocery store, identified as Chippenham Crossing.

The addition of a stand-alone emergency center typically aims to provide accessible urgent medical care to the surrounding community. These types of facilities often offer services similar to hospital-based emergency rooms, including diagnostic imaging and laboratory services, for conditions that require immediate attention but may not be life-threatening.

Details regarding the anticipated opening date for the Bon Secours emergency center were not provided in the initial announcement. Information concerning the specific services that will be offered at this location, staffing plans, or the total investment in the project has also not been publicly disclosed at this time. The project’s commencement signals Bon Secours’ continued expansion of its healthcare network within the greater Richmond metropolitan area.

The former Ukrop’s site at Chippenham Crossing is a well-known commercial area, and its redevelopment for a healthcare facility suggests a strategic choice to serve a population center. Further updates on the construction progress and the facility’s operational timeline are expected as the project advances.
