Virginia Business reports Inova Fairfax is the top hospital in Virginia

For the second year in a row, Inova Fairfax Hospital in Falls Church has been named the best hospital in Virginia on U.S. News and World Report’s annual list of the best hospitals in the nation, which was released July 26, according to a report from the weekly Virginia Business magazine.

The Inova Health System’s hospital also ranked as the top hospital in the Washington, D.C., metro area, third in Virginia for children’s hospitals and No. 14 in the mid-Atlantic for children’s care. Inova Fairfax Hospital ranked No. 10 in the nation for gynecology and No. 40 for neonatology. (U.S. News includes data from Inova L.J. Murphy Children’s Hospital in its evaluation of Inova Fairfax Hospital.)

Last year Inova Fairfax unseated University of Virginia Medical Center in Charlottesville as the No. 1 hospital and kept the top spot this year.

J. Stephen Jones, President and CEO of Inova, was quoted by Virginia Business as saying, “World-class health care is a team sport and I am proud to lead the Inova team which steps up every day, year after year, to deliver the safest and highest quality care to those we are privileged to serve. “To be named the No. 1 hospital in the state and the region for the second consecutive year during a transformative period in health care illustrates our exceptional team and their ongoing commitment to putting our patients and communities at the center of everything we do.”

U.S. News and World Report’s 2022-2023 Best Hospitals rankings relied on data from more than 5,000 hospitals, Virginia Business said.
