As Inova continues expanding, CEO urges Fairfax to streamline development process. Published June 17, 2026 at 11:45AM Construction work on Franconia-Springfield campus (via Inova Health System and Fairfax County) Inova Health System's CEO used a recent roundtable discussion with the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and business leaders to connect his organization's growth to broader quality of life across the region. Health care is "the job engine and in many ways economic engine" of Northern Virginia, Dr. J. Stephen Jones said at yesterday's meeting of the county's Council for Economic Opportunity. With its workforce of 26,000 employees growing an average of 1,000 a year and a budget approaching $7 billion annually, the nonprofit health system is the largest private employer in the Washington region. While generally upbeat about Inova's working relationship with the county government, Jones expressed concerns similar to those of most developers, describing the planning and permitting process as involving too much bureaucracy and too lengthy a period to get projects approved. "Make it easy. You'll get more things fast," he said. "If it's not doable to build, building doesn't happen." Inova currently is in the midst of two major hospital projects, both designed to replace the aging Alexandria Hospital. A 192-bed facility is rising at West End Town Center on the former Landmark Mall site in the City of Alexandria, while the new 110-bed Inova Franconia-Springfield Hospital is linked to the existing HealthPlex outpatient facility. Jones said both facilities remain on track to open - perhaps on the same day - in late 2028. "It will be an employment magnet," Jones said of the $2.5 billion being invested in the facilities. "We have confidence in our ability to arrive and thrive." When complete, the existing Inova Alexandria Hospital on Seminary Road will close. Inova has been exploring a possible redevelopment of the site centered on housing. A major expansion of emergency department facilities at Inova Fairfax Hospital in Woodburn is also underway. Roughly doubling the size of the existing emergency room, which is the fourth busiest in the country, the project has so far included the addition of a new children's ER with its own entrance and a mental health unit. Inova is now working to expand the hospital's adult ER with a new entrance facing Gallows Road. The second phase of construction is expected to finish in 2028. In the meantime, the organization is attempting to give patients more urgent care options, which generally provide services at a lower cost than what's available at emergency departments, Jones said. Among other topics discussed by Jones at the roundtable: Community-based facilities: Inova is placing increased emphasis on community-based facilities, particularly in areas with larger percentages of low-income residents. "We've been very much intentional in meeting the need where the need is," he said. Inova Mount Vernon Hospital: According to Jones, there are no plans to reduce acute care offerings at Inova Mount Vernon Hospital, which recently celebrated 50 years, as some have feared. "As long as I am CEO, it will be a thriving hospital we are investing in," he said. Charity care: The dollar amount of care that Inova is providing to those without the ability to pay has increased 27% over the past year, but Jones says "we do not ever run" from providing that kind of care. Artificial intelligence: Jones sees both opportunities and challenges in how artificial intelligence technology could affect the health care industry. "We're going to do our very best to stay with it," he said of the evolving AI landscape. The Fairfax County government has partnered with what evolved into Inova Health System since planning for Fairfax Hospital began in the 1950s. That facility opened in 1961, and Inova has continued expanding both on its Fairfax campus and across the region ever since. Board of Supervisors Chairman Jeff McKay said that from his vantage point, the organization is taking the right steps to meet community needs. "I don't know that I've ever felt more confidence in the leadership and the future," McKay said. Having a solid regional health-care infrastructure - via Inova and others - aids in economic development efforts, McKay said. Companies "absolutely look at health care" when making relocation and expansion decisions, he said. Dan Storck, who chairs the Council of Economic Opportunity, noted that health care as a percentage of the nation's economy has more than doubled to 18% over the past half-century. Moving forward with new facilities and services is not optional, but necessary, Storck said. "If we're not winning, we're losing," he said. * Scott McCaffrey A Northern Virginia native, Scott McCaffrey has four decades of reporting, editing and newsroom experience in the local area plus Florida, South Carolina and the eastern panhandle of West Virginia.

Inova named #3 Top Large Health System in the nation. Inova Alexandria ranks #20 in Large Community Hospital category and earns prestigious Everest Award. May 26, 2026 3:16 p.m. Inova Alexandria Hospital Inova has been named the #3 Top Large Health System in the United States in the 2026 15 Top Health Systems study by Modern Healthcare based on an objective quantitative analysis conducted by Premier, Inc., a national leader in healthcare transformation and performance improvement. The Inova Health System includes five acute care hospitals across Northern Virginia including Inova Alexandria Hospital, located at 4320 Seminary Road. Inova Alexandria's new 1.1 million square foot medical campus is under construction; it will include a 192-bed inpatient facility with private rooms and a larger emergency department as well as a cancer research center and a Level II trauma center. This ranking places Inova as one of the highest-performing health systems in the nation. The study evaluates health system performance across clinical outcomes, operational efficiency and patient experience to identify organizations delivering consistently high-quality care. In addition to the system-level recognition, two Inova hospitals were also ranked among the country's top-performing hospitals in the 2026 100 Top Hospitals study: * Inova Fair Oaks Hospital ranked #5 in the Medium Community Hospital category * Inova Alexandria Hospital ranked #20 in the Large Community Hospital category * Inova Alexandria Hospital also earned the prestigious Everest Award, which honors hospitals that set national benchmarks for both the fastest rate of improvement and the highest current-year performance on the 100 Top Hospitals balanced scorecard. The rankings reflect Inova's continued focus on delivering safe and high-quality care across the region. "Being recognized as the #3 large health system in the country, while also seeing two of our hospitals earn national distinction, reflects the extraordinary commitment of 26,000 Inova Team Members to delivering exceptional care for the patients and communities we serve," said J. Stephen Jones, MD, FACS, President and CEO of Inova. "We set a vision in 2018 to be among the leading health systems in the nation, and I'm proud that this recognition - along with many others - reflects how Inova is meeting the moment." The recognition comes amid continued national honors for Inova, including being named the 2025 Press Ganey HX Health System of the Year. The 15 Top Health Systems study evaluates performance using a balanced scorecard of publicly reported measures that include mortality, complications, healthcare-associated infections, patient experience, readmissions, and Medicare spend per beneficiary. Notably, the methodology also incorporates length of stay, an increasingly important measure of both operational efficiency and coordinated patient care. "Improving length of stay requires impeccable coordination across clinical teams, care management, operations, and support services," said Chapy Venkatesan, MD, Chief Quality and Safety Officer, Inova. "Our teams have worked incredibly hard to strengthen patient flow, communication and patient engagement, discharge planning, and care coordination in ways that improve both the patient experience and clinical outcomes. It's meaningful to see those efforts reflected in this recognition." Across all measured indicators, the nation's top-performing health systems demonstrated significantly stronger outcomes than peer organizations, including: * Lower inpatient mortality rates * Fewer healthcare-associated infections * Shorter average lengths of stay * Lower total episode-of-care costs and improved operational efficiency For the 2026 analysis, Premier researchers evaluated 336 health systems and 2,716 hospitals nationwide using publicly available data. "Achieving Premier's 15 Top Health Systems(R) designation is a meaningful accomplishment that reflects a health system's commitment to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care," said David Zito, President of Performance Services at Premier. "This recognition highlights Inova's focus on improving outcomes, strengthening operations and advancing the overall patient experience." The 100 Top Hospitals study separately evaluated 2,540 short-term, acute care hospitals across the United States.
