Inova awards funding to regional healthcare providers

Fairfax, VA — Yesterday Inova provided over $1 million to associated nonprofit healthcare organizations working to address the social drivers of health and well-being of Northern Virginians. This year, Inova’s Division of Community Health celebrated 24 community partners who are recipients of Inova Community Health Opportunities funding. Selected from more than one hundred applications, these local nonprofits deliver essential services to address the health needs of under-resourced communities in Northern Virginia.

“Inova’s Community Health Opportunities funding underscores our commitment to nonprofit community health partners,” commented J. Stephen Jones, MD, FACS, President and Chief Executive Officer, Inova. “Anchored in the Northern Virginia community, each partner works with Inova to connect with our neighbors to address health challenges of the most vulnerable among us. With these funds, we tangibly recognize and support each recipient’s commitment and service to the health of our communities.”

Inova requests proposals for Community Health Opportunities funding annually, encouraging nonprofit organizations to expand services to meet the diverse healthcare needs of our communities. Applicants are required to propose impactful projects in their community that address issues identified by the Inova Community Health Needs Assessments and demonstrate good stewardship of resources. All recipients join Inova in the commitment to improving access to care and supporting the well-being of the Northern Virginia community.
