New Inova Women’s & Children’s Hospital Planned

To meet growing demand for its services in the region, Inova Children’s Hospital’s Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) will move in 2016 to a brand new state-of-the art home in the new Inova Women’s and Children’s Hospital on Inova Fairfax Medical Campus.

The 655,000 square-foot, 12-story building — the largest construction project in Inova’s history — will include 108 NICU beds, underscoring the NICU’s status as the largest and most comprehensive Level lV unit in the area.

The new Inova Children’s Hospital also will feature all private pediatric rooms and expanded pediatric intensive care units. Several play areas will further contribute to a more homelike setting at the hospital.

Inova Women’s Hospital will include a 48-bed, all private High Risk Perinatal Unit, on-site satellite antenatal testing and maternal fetal medicine and family-centered maternity suites. It also will include 192 private patient rooms, a dedicated women’s surgery center, 33 labor delivery and recovery suites, and six Caesarean-section operation rooms.
