Inova Loudoun Hospital

We’re still delivering bundles of joy to families at Inova every day.

We understand you might be concerned if you’re expecting in these rapidly changing times. But, please be assured Inova is leading the way to help you bring your little one, or ones, into this world as safely as possible.

Inova has been preparing for COVID-19 for months and continues to review, revise and implement all infection prevention and control measures established by the CDC and state/local health agencies to provide care in the safest of environments. These are some of our current safety measures:

1. Restricted visitation - Limiting visitors to only those absolutely necessary
2. Screening all visitors for symptoms and body temperature before entering any facility
3. Telemedicine for obstetric visits to limit the number of visits women must make to a facility
4. Essential hospital staff onsite only
5. Postponed elective surgeries
6. All clinical care providers will wear a surgical mask when caring for patients.
7. All Inova team members will participate in twice daily symptom and temperature checks.
8. Care areas are cleaned after each patient contact with CDC approved and recommended cleaners.
9. Patients with infectious diseases remain isolated in their room at all times. Treatment comes to them.
10. The equipment used to care for these patients is not shared with any other patient.

Our doctors, nurses and support teams are committed to safety above all and continuing to provide world-class healthcare as we help you welcome your little one.
