Building Boom
Inova Loudoun Hospital’s $300 million Master Plan expansion of facilities and services is well under way. With completion expected in early 2020, here is an update on the most recent progress to date:
-
- Parking improvements: The new 766-space parking garage on campus opened in August and serves patients and visitors for the Emergency Room (ER) and the 44035 Medical Office Building. This includes the Inova Heart and Vascular Institute (IHVI) – Schaufeld Family Heart Center, Inova Radiation and Oncology Center, Outpatient Specialty Rehabilitation Center, and Inova Loudoun Surgery Center – Lansdowne (Outpatient).
- Emergency room (ER) expansion: The expansion of the Inova Virts Miller Family Emergency and Trauma Center — the adult ER on the Lansdowne Campus — will be completed in March. Patients will benefit from a “BiggER, BettER and FastER” emergency room.
- Breast center: In November, the hospital began construction on a new comprehensive breast center. This facility will include breast imaging services, a breast navigator, genetic counseling, and Life with Cancer® services. The center, which is being designed to further enhance the patient’s experience, is slated for completion in late February.
- Comfort and care upgrades: In October, the hospital broke ground on its new patient tower; it is slated for completion in the first quarter of 2020. The 385,000-square-foot building will feature all private patient rooms, a new progressive care unit, a new neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with enhanced capabilities, and a new labor and delivery unit. Additional space within the tower will include a grand entrance lobby, cafe and planned space to expand medical services.
- 3D surgical technology: Inova Loudoun Hospital is excited to introduce the da Vinci Xi® robot and MAKO Total Knee technology — innovative equipment that will further streamline surgeries and treatments and enhance patients’ experiences. Both the Xi and MAKO incorporate 3-D imaging technology to improve visualization for doctors, and may shorten recovery times for patients. The Xi is used in various cardiac, colorectal, gynecologic, thoracic and urologic procedures.
- MAKOplasty joint replacement: The MAKO system can be used in both knee and hip surgeries. The MAKO Total Knee technology represents “A whole new level of innovation for joint replacement surgery,” says Nauman Akhtar, MD, Medical Director of the Joint Replacement Program.
