Connecting teams for patient excellence

Inova’s physician and advanced practice provider (APP) relations team serves as a direct point of contact for Inova clinicians, community-based physicians and practice staff. The team works to build trusting relationships among all entities and strives to ensure the best possible referring experience for providers.

We can serve you by:

  • Providing information on Inova programs, services, specialists and service lines
  • Serving as a trusted resource for any Inova-related questions
  • Supporting community practices with connectivity to Inova systems
  • Assisting with referrals, access and communication
  • Helping to resolve issues and service concerns
  • Providing clinical resources for physicians, APPs and their patients
  • Connecting community providers with Inova specialists or service line administrators
  • Supporting networking and educational events for all practitioners

Get in touch

Each physician and APP relations team member serves clinicians and practices within a specific geographic area. In addition, they each also serve as an expert for a dedicated Inova service line(s) and can assist with service line specific questions or concerns across the Inova Health System. Contact us with questions, concerns, and/or to setup a meeting.
