Construction may start next year on a new Inova HealthPlex in Alexandria's Oakville Triangle neighborhood.
Stonebridge, Carras Partners and Inova Health System announced the agreement this week.
Located across from Potomac Yard, the Oakville Triangle HealthPlex will include an emergency room, a multi-use outpatient care center and medical offices and will be a service of Inova Alexandria Hospital.
The Inova Healthplex will be the anchor of a planned mixed-use development in Oakville Triangle that will include residential, retail and significant enhancements to Mount Jefferson Park.
“Inova is committed to providing a patient-centric, highly reliable, seamless system of care,” said J. Stephen Jones, MD, FACS, President and CEO of Inova, in a release. “All five Inova hospitals were recently awarded Five Stars by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and we are committed to providing the same five-star quality care at every Inova facility, including the HealthPlex in Oakville Triangle, to every patient we have the privilege to serve.”
“We are excited to bring this important service to this area of Alexandria and all of National Landing,” said Douglas M. Firstenberg, a Principal of Stonebridge. “Beyond the tremendous community benefits of Inova’s HealthPlex, it will create synergy with the other mixed-use development in this project.”
“The new Inova HealthPlex in Oakville Triangle will help meet the growing healthcare needs in our community and complement our existing full-service acute care hospital in Alexandria,” said Rina Bansal, MD, MBA, and President of Inova Alexandria Hospital. “Inova’s continued commitment to the City of Alexandria promises even greater access to the world class healthcare services Inova provides throughout the region.”
The community is invited to attend an informational meeting on March 26, at 7 p.m. (the location will be announced shortly). Stonebridge will work with the community and the City over the next year to position the project to begin construction in 2021 with the first buildings opening in 2023.
