Inova Loudoun Hospital to Host Free Centennial Celebration

Inova Loudoun Hospital turned 100 years old on June 5 and to celebrate they will host a free centennial celebration at this Saturday.

Community Affairs Executive Donna Fortier said that the event will be themed to the early 1900s. There will be a number of historical facts that will represent how things were when Inova Loudoun first opened to the public.

Guests can enjoy a variety of activities including 
jugglers, stilt walkers, a caricature artist, rock wall, and a teddy bear clinic. There will be appearances by a period impersonator and sports mascots in addition to exhibitors, a photo booth and giveaways.

“Since we have been providing service to Loudoun County for 100 years we wanted to say thank you to the community for trusting us as being their community partner when it comes to healthcare decisions,” Fortier said.

“Being the only health care system right now in Loudoun County and knowing for 100 years they have been here providing service I think is pretty incredible and is a great testament to the good service that it provides because we’re still here.”

Inova Loudoun Hospital is part of the Inova Health System; a not-for-profit healthcare system based in Northern Virginia that consists of hospitals and other health services, including emergency and urgent care centers, home care, nursing homes, mental health and blood donor services, and wellness classes.  

Governed by a voluntary board of community members, Inova’s mission is to improve the health of the diverse community it serves through excellence in patient care, education and research.
