Fairfax Neonatal Associates

FNA also provides neonatologists for the NICUs at Inova Fair Oaks Hospital and Inova Loudoun Hospital. In our three locations we are responsible for the critical care needs of nearly 20,000 newborns each year. At the Inova Fair Oaks Hospital, Fairfax Neonatal Associates also maintains a 24-hour on site pediatric hospitalist service. Our success with even the smallest infants is well recognized throughout the community and has gained national recognition. We are proud that the neonatal mortality rate for infants born at Inova Children's Hospital is one of the lowest in the nation. We are constantly working to maintain the highest standard of care. Inova Children's Hospital is an active participant in the Vermont-Oxford Quality Improvement Network. The NICU has taken the lead in reducing the incidence of Chronic Lung Disease. In the NICU at the Inova Children's Hospital we have recently initiated a Therapeutic Hypothermia (body cooling) program to reduce brain damage for certain high-risk infants. Our neonatologists are actively involved in several areas of neonatal outcomes research.
