Meeting the moment:
The New Era of Emergency Care at Inova Fairfax Hospital
Your partnership is creating a world-class emergency room – built for today’s demand and tomorrow’s growth.
“Every patient I saw today in our emergency room was in an actual private room. I haven’t had this happen in more than a decade of practicing medicine. I didn’t have to dodge oncoming stretchers and medics. I didn’t have to examine a patient in a hallway. I didn’t have to worry that my patient's personal history was being heard by others nearby. I was able to devote my full, undivided attention to my patients and their families. My patients felt heard, respected and valued. And I felt like a good doctor today.”

The Progress
At the close of 2024, we celebrated the completion of Phase 1 of this project—a pivotal moment made possible in part by our dedicated donor community. This first phase included new spaces that:
· Expand patient capacity
· Introduce the region’s first Emergency Psychiatric Assessment, Treatment, and Healing (EmPATH) unit
· Create family-friendly pediatric experience
These enhancements are already making a critical difference—and they’re only the beginning. Because of you, we’re building toward a future of integrated, world-class, compassionate emergency care for all.
