It is the No. 2 hospital in the state, behind Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in Norfolk, according to the annual rankings.

Inova Fairfax’s gynecology  program is also No. 33 in the country, and the hospital’s neonatalogy department is No. 42 nationally, according to the 2014–2015 Best Hospitals list.

“Three years in a row as No. 1 is an outstanding accomplishment and we are proud of our hospital’s dedicated physicians and staff who provide the best of care to our patients every day,” says Patrick Christiansen, PhD, Chief Executive Officer, Inova Fairfax Medical Campus. “I’d like to congratulate  our staff, particularly  within Inova Women’s  and Children’s, for their impressive and well-deserved national rankings.”

Inova Fairfax Medical Campus earned high-performing rankings in  11 specialties: cancer; cardiology and heart surgery; diabetes and endocrinology; ear, nose and throat; gastroenterology and GI surgery; geriatrics; nephrology; neurology and neurosurgery; orthopedics; pulmonology; and urology.
