About Inova
Inova is a not-for-profit health care system based in Northern
Virginia that serves more than two million people each year
from throughout the Washington, DC, metro area and beyond.
Inova consists of five hospitals with more than 1,700 licensed
beds and 16,000 employees. Inova encompasses the full
array of health services, including the area’s only Level 1
Trauma Center and Level III C Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
Inova is also home to nationally and internationally recognized
Inova Women’s Hospital, Inova Heart and Vascular Institute,
Inova Translational Medicine Institute (ITMI) on genomics,
Inova Neuroscience Institute, and Inova Children’s Hospital.
Inova Health System is governed by a volunteer board of
community members. Since 1956, Inova has grown from one
hospital to a nationally recognized, comprehensive network of
hospitals, outpatient services, assisted and long-term care
facilities and healthcare centers located throughout Northern
Virginia and servicing Washington, DC.
Our vision
We seek to optimize the health and well-being of each
individual we serve. We will achieve this by building the future
of health through our Vision 2015:
• We will reinvent hospital-based care to increase value
for our patients
• We will look outside our hospitals to build an integrated
network or providers and programs to support our
community
• We will gain national and international recognition and
funding – as well as an expanded patient base – through
world-renowned specialty care and leading-edge
corporate and consumer health programs.
All five of Inova Health System's hospitals have been recognized
again this year byU.S. News & World Report as “Best Hospital”
for 2012-13, including the number one hospital in the region .
To be nationally ranked, a hospital must excel across a range
of tough cases within a given specialty. According to US
News, this year only 148 of the 4,793 hospitals evaluated met
such criteria and performed well enough to rank in even one
specialty.
Inova’s national rankings were earned in Gynecology and
Cardiology and Heart Surgery at Inova Fairfax Hospital.
Gynecology was ranked 23rd in the nation, while Cardiology
and Heart Surgery earned the 50th
spot. Regionally, Inova Fairfax
Hospital has been named the top
hospital in the Washington
Metropolitan Region.
