Inova Loudoun Hospital “broke bricks” today to begin the renovation and expansion of its award-winning Lansdowne Campus Emergency Room.
In addition, it was announced that beginning Oct. 1, the hospital is advancing the level of emergency room care by pursuing implementation of Level III Trauma capabilities. This will be the first trauma center in Loudoun County.
The new facility will be named the Inova Virts Miller Family Emergency and Trauma Center at Inova Loudoun Hospital in recognition of a $2 million leadership gift given by lead donors and local business leaders Sharon D. Virts and Scott F. Miller. In addition to this $2 million contribution, Dr. Edward Puccio and his colleagues at Commonwealth Emergency Physicians and Mike and Teresa Wheeler stepped forward to kick off the ER campaign through donations of $250,000 each to the project. They were joined by other generous community leaders who collectively contributed an additional $500,000 in support. Total projected cost of the project is in excess of $5 million.
