Inova care sites are open – Your health is our priority

All Inova sites are open and serving patients. However, the global IT outage has affected some Inova technology systems. As patient safety is our top priority, we have taken measures to limit the impact to patient care while we work to fully restore standard operations.

Phone Outage

We are currently experiencing intermittent outages affecting our phone lines. We are working to be fully back in operation as soon as possible, but you may experience long call times until then. For emergencies, please call 911 or visit your nearest urgent care or emergency department. Or, please try your call at a later time or utilize MyChart for your patient history, upcoming appointments or send a message directly to your provider.

Urgent need for blood donors

We currently have a critical need for blood donations. Please be a lifeline for those in need.

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 Independence Day holiday – Thursday, July 4.
