Inova Mount Vernon Hospital is a 237-bed community hospital located in the Hybla Valley area of Fairfax County.

History
$10 million of a $32.5 million bond issue approved by county voters in a November 1967 referendum was intended for construction of the hospital.

Despite the recommendation of the Fairfax County Hospital and Health Center Commission to purchase a 68-acre site on Lockheed Boulevard, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors instead voted in 1969 to purchase a smaller 40-acre site to the east as a location for the proposed $14.4 million hospital.

In March 1974, the Board of Supervisors voted to build the hospital.

In 1983, the hospital opened a 16-bed comprehensive rehabilitation center, the first in the D.C. Metro area. Ten years later, the Inova Center for Rehabilitation at Mount Vernon Hospital had expanded to 59 beds.

Following extensive losses, Inova considered either closing or moving the hospital in 2003.

In 2013, Barbara Doyle left her position as CEO to return to her home in Massachusetts. Medical director Dr. Donald Brideau served as interim CEO until the appointment of Deborah Addo in 2014,
