Inova's Sustainability Program

Inova Health System understands that being a responsible member of our community requires that we do our part to not only keep our patients and team members healthy, but to help keep our earth healthy as well.

Inova believes that this vision can be accomplished through thoughtful consideration of the effects of our actions on our surrounding community and the environment. From the energy we use to power life-saving medical equipment to the materials purchased for new construction projects, Inova is committed to incorporating environmental sustainability into all aspects of our core business operations. This requires balancing superior patient care with the intersection of the environment, the economy and our community.
