Attention Patients

If you suspect you might be infected with COVID-19, please do not visit the emergency room for a COVID-19 test. Instead seek out a community testing site, home test kit, or make an appointment with Inova's vehicle side testing center. Inova Emergency Departments are prioritizing patients with medical conditions requiring emergency care and those with critical illness. We strongly discourage patients who are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms from coming to the emergency room so we may preserve resources for those in our community with emergent medical needs.

 

Any individual visiting an Inova facility (inpatient or outpatient) must wear a surgical face mask at all times. Cloth masks will not be permitted, and you will be asked to change into an Inova issued masked as needed.

Holiday hours

With the exception of Inova hospitals, Inova Emergency Care and Inova-GoHealth Urgent Care, all Inova outpatient offices will be closed for the Memorial Day holiday – Monday, May 26.

Routine Visits Update

We are currently open and caring for patients undergoing active treatment. Routine and long-term follow up appointments may be conducted though telemedicine or postponed. Please contact us with any questions.
