Inova's Oakville Health Center Opens In Alexandria With Ribbon Cutting

ALEXANDRIA, VA — A major piece in the Oakville redevelopment between Del Ray and Potomac Yard is open.

Inova Health System held a ribbon cutting and grand opening Thursday for the new Inova Health Center – Oakville. Located at 400 Fannon Street, Alexandria, VA, the facility has a full-service emergency department for all ages, outpatient surgery and advanced diagnostic imaging. Primary and specialty care services such as cardiology, gastroenterology and general surgery are also available. The new facility was designed by Ballinger and Ennead Architects.

"The Oakville Health Center will allow us to serve our community with more convenience and accessibility, offering both emergency care and outpatient services under one roof," said Dr. J. Stephen Jones, president and CEO of Inova Health System. "We are excited to officially open our doors and welcome patients to this state-of-the-art facility."

The new facility responds to the growing population of Alexandria and neighboring Arlington. Development in Potomac Yard has grown over the years and will be home to the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus under construction. Inova is also planning to relocate its Inova Alexandria Hospital from Seminary Road to the mixed-use redevelopment of Landmark Mall. The Inova Alexandria Hospital, plus a new Inova Franconia-Springfield hospital south of the city, are expected to finish construction in 2028.

"The opening of this facility marks a new chapter for healthcare in Alexandria and its surrounding communities," said Dr. Rina Bansal, president of Inova Alexandria Hospital. "With the Oakville Health Center, we are continuing to bring high-quality care to families in a setting designed for comfort and healing. This facility will help us provide comprehensive care and support to even more people in our community."

The Oakville health complex is part of Stonebridge's redevelopment of Oakville Triangle. The Oakville mixed-use development includes apartments and townhouses that have started to open. Retail is planned for the development, including the Founding Farmers restaurant expected to open in February 2025. Other businesses slated to open are Dok Khao Thai Eatery, YogaSix and N&J Nails.
