Using today’s Great American Smokeout campaign as a kickoff point, Henrico Doctors’ and Bon Secours Richmond hospitals are becoming tobacco-free campuses inside and out.

Bon Secours will need to clear one hurdle to build its new ambulatory-care campus as planned at the Watkins Centre in Chesterfield County. The nonprofit health system has applied for a zoning amendment to reduce the required roadway setbacks on the 16-acre site at the southwest corner of state Route 288 and Midlothian Turnpike. The $30 million development would create 100 local jobs, making it the county’s biggest economic-development project of the year.

The “new urbanism” style of development that Bon Secours Richmond Health System envisions for its St. Francis Medical Center in Chesterfield County also would guide future development of its St. Mary’s Hospital in Henrico County under proposals presented last night. The St. Mary’s campus would become more pedestrian friendly and show a more architecturally pleasing face to Monument Avenue under the conceptual plans, which look five, 20 and 40 years into the future.

Bon Secours is investing $30 million and bringing 100 new jobs to Chesterfield County, making for the largest economic-development announcement in the county this year. The nonprofit Catholic health system said yesterday that it is building an ambulatory-care campus at the southwest corner of state Route 288 and Midlothian Turnpike at the Watkins Centre, about 4.5 miles from Bon Secours St. Francis Medical Center.

The Richmond Community Hospital Foundation is giving Virginia Union University $1.3 million for a new scholarship and internship program.

Peter J. Bernard leads one of Virginia’s largest health-care systems. But his first job working in a hospital, when he was a teenager, was a bit more hands-on. “I was part orderly, part housekeeper” at a hospital in the Chicago area, Bernard said. “It was a part-time job after school and on weekends.“

It was a day to do the Hustle, the Electric Slide, gospel aerobics, Zumba and Jazzercise. The Day of Dance also was a day to save lives. “Every year, we send three to 10 people right to the emergency room,“ said Mary Anne Graf, vice president for women’s and children’s services at Bon Secours Richmond Health System, a sponsor of the local event.

Bon Secours Richmond Health System wants to build a hospital city in Chesterfield County. The community would be developed around its St. Francis Medical Center complex in Midlothian. The hospital would be the focal point of the urban-style town, which would have town homes or apartments along with shops and other businesses. A network of roads would be anchored by a pedestrian-friendly boulevard.

Two Richmond-area health-care providers have applied to the state to add or expand rehabilitation services. Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital in Richmond is seeking state approval to develop a 56-bed, $15.9 million rehabilitation hospital in a partnership with Sheltering Arms Physical Rehabilitation Centers. Sheltering Arms operates a number of rehabilitation facilities in the area, including inpatient facilities at two other Bon Secours hospitals in the area, St. Francis and Memorial Regional medical centers.

Dr. Mark C. Barr guesses his office is located about where the deli used to be in the old Ukrop’s store on Patterson Avenue. The building that housed the grocery store from 1975 to 2006 has been renovated, and opened as a medical office.
