Inova Mount Vernon Hospital celebrates its ‘most awarded’ year ever

A proud year for great patient care at Inova Mount Vernon

For Inova Mount Vernon Hospital, 2017 will go down as its “most awarded” year yet. It makes sense. When you take outstanding care of people and are committed to clinical excellence and patient safety, the outside world will take note.

The hospital’s steady string of awards, accreditations and accolades began in the spring, and culminated in December with its first-ever “5-Star Rating” from the United States government on the official medicare.gov “Hospital Compare” website.

We are proud to share with you just a few of our major awards from this past year.

This recognition factors in approximately 60 measures of hospital quality including a survey of patients’ experiences, and timely and effective care measures; complications and death rates; hospital readmission rates; and payment and value of care.
