Inova Fairfax Hospital (IFH) is a 923-bed
tertiary care hospital campus providing most medical and surgical specialties and houses Northern Virginia's only
Level 1 Trauma Center and the nation's fifth-busiest
obstetrics program (with nearly 12,000
live births in 2006). It is one of only six
community hospitals in the nation offering the full spectrum of
organ transplantation. It has been named among the top 50 hospitals for gastrointestinal disorders, gynecology, and heart surgery by
U.S. News & World Report. In 2016, Inova Fairfax and
University of Virginia Health System announced a partnership involving a $112 million research institute and a
University of Virginia School of Medicine regional campus at Inova. The plan involves developing a Global Genomics and Bioinformatics Research Institute at the Inova Center for Personalized Health, which will be funded by UVA, Inova, and the
Virginia General Assembly. They also intend to collaborate on research between the Inova Schar Cancer Institute and the University of Virginia Cancer Research Center. Inova Fairfax Hospital is also a satellite clinical campus for students from the University of Virginia School of Medicine and hosts residents from other universities in the area. The hospital also houses the
Virginia Commonwealth University School of Pharmacy’s Inova Campus in which students can complete their third and fourth years of training. ==Size==
