Inova Loudoun Hospital expands ER, honors late CNO Lisa Dugan with renamed chapel

Changes Afoot at Inova Loudoun

As part of the Master Plan expansion, various facilities and services at Inova Loudoun Hospital are under construction or have been recently completed. Here is how the major projects are shaping up for the year:

Expanded ER & trauma center

The last phases in the expansion of the Inova Virts Miller Family Emergency and Trauma Center — the adult emergency room on the ILH Lansdowne campus — were completed in March.  Next up: The ER’s lobby will be refreshed to complete the project.  As a result of ER renovations, patients will benefit from a “BiggER, BettER and FastER” emergency room.

New chapel honors a beloved colleague

To honor the memory of one of the hospital’s most beloved nursing colleagues, former Chief Nursing Officer Lisa Dugan, PhD, Inova will transform the chapel on the Lansdowne campus in her name. The newly designed Lisa Dugan Chapel will be a peaceful space for reflection and prayer.

The hospital is grateful to the Inova Loudoun Hospital Board for championing this initiative, and to the scores of generous donors who stepped forward to make it a reality. The formal dedication of the Lisa Dugan Chapel is slated for summer 2018.

Peterson Family Breast Center

The Inova Schar Cancer Institute – Peterson Family Breast Center at Inova Loudoun Hospital opened in March 2018.  The 3,800-square-foot center is the sole facility of its kind in Loudoun County to employ only breast fellowship-trained radiologists.

The aim is to make mammogram testing more efficient, pleasant, convenient and, most importantly, even more accurate. Learn more and request an appointment online

New patient tower = all private rooms

Construction of a new 385,000-square-foot patient tower is well under way, with projected completion in spring 2020. The tower will feature all-private patient rooms, a new progressive care unit, a new labor and delivery unit with enhanced neonatal capabilities (NICU), a new main entrance lobby and a café.

Enhanced medical support services

Referred to as the “Back of the House” project at Inova Loudoun, a $50 million building expansion and renovation at the back of the hospital is in progress. This project will expand medical and patient support services in order to accommodate the new patient tower, which is roughly doubling the size of the hospital.
