In a significant move to enhance healthcare services in Northern Virginia, Inova Health System announced its partnership with Fairfax Family Practice Centers (FFPC). Effective June 25th, this collaboration brings FFPC’s extensive network of 12 medical offices and their dedicated team of physicians, advanced practice providers, and residents into the Inova system. This integration is set to significantly expand Inova’s primary care service line, catering to the diverse and growing healthcare needs of the region.
Dr. J. Stephen Jones, President and CEO of Inova, emphasized the shared values between the two entities. “FFPC and Inova are united in our commitment to caring for our community. We both deeply believe in the vital relationship between providers and patients as the cornerstone of exceptional healthcare,” he stated. “We are thrilled to join forces with Fairfax Family Practice Centers as we work together to integrate and further develop our Primary Care Service Line.” This partnership signals Inova’s dedication to strengthening its primary care offerings and ensuring accessible, patient-focused services.
Fairfax Family Practice Centers brings to the table a robust infrastructure of 12 primary care locations and a team of nearly 500 healthcare professionals. This includes over 150 physicians, advanced practice providers, and residents, all committed to delivering high-quality care. Inova and FFPC have collaborated closely over several months to ensure a smooth transition for patients. A key focus has been on maintaining continuity of care, meaning FFPC patients can continue to see their trusted physicians at their existing locations without interruption.
Dr. Sam Jones, President of Inova Primary Care, highlighted the strategic advantages of this new partnership. “This collaboration allows us to deliver truly integrated care to our patients across Northern Virginia. Furthermore, it provides a significant boost to the Family Medicine Residency Training Program, which is crucial for cultivating the next generation of primary care providers in our community,” Dr. Jones explained. “By becoming part of Inova, we will be able to build upon our shared mission of providing the highest quality, patient-centered care and an outstanding patient experience for everyone we serve.”
