Fairfax, VA — Inova celebrated the grand opening of the Inova Cares for Families (ICF) clinic located at 7617 Little River Tpk., # 600, Annandale, today.

ICF has had significant growth over the last decade, providing primary healthcare as well as a medical home for families who qualify for Medicaid, FAMIS, Inova’s Financial Assistance Program or are uninsured. Across its six community locations, 13,172 patients were seen last year which included 1,936 pediatric patients for a total of 29,645 encounters.

“Inova has been named the Health System of the Year by Press Ganey, a national leader in healthcare experience,” said J. Stephen Jones, MD, President and CEO, Inova. “Today’s opening reinforces Inova’s dedication to meeting our community’s healthcare needs and upholding our commitment to provide high-quality healthcare to each person in every community we are privileged to serve.”

ICF Annandale will provide comprehensive primary care services including sick and well visits, physicals, nurse case management, education and counseling for disease prevention, psychosocial support and care coordination. Inova Cares facilities are strategically located in the communities they serve, often sharing space with other safety net programs.

“Our Fairfax Community Health Needs Assessment clearly identified healthcare access as a top Annandale community health issue,” commented Karen Berube, SVP/Chief, Community Health, Inova. “We understand families face challenges accessing care for social and healthcare needs including obesity, nutrition and mental health. With this opening, we are assuring a medical home in the community to address immediate needs and cultivate long-term wellbeing.”
