WheelHouse Health guide to primary care in Stafford

A commuter county

Stafford County has grown fast, from about 129,000 people in 2010 to nearly 157,000 in 2020. Many residents drive north on I-95 or Route 1, catch the VRE at Brooke or Leeland Road, or work at Marine Corps Base Quantico, part of which lies in northern Stafford along with the FBI Academy. Garrisonville Road (Route 610) is the main road into North Stafford and Aquia Harbour.

I-95 between Washington and southern Stafford has been ranked the worst traffic hotspot in the country. Even with the Express Lanes now reaching Route 17, a medical appointment can swallow half a day.

For VRE riders

If you ride the VRE from Brooke or Leeland Road, a video visit on a day you work from home is usually the easiest option. When you need the clinic, a Saturday visit avoids the I-95 commute altogether. Members can message refill requests and quick questions between visits.
