Reston Citizen

The opening of Reston’s first emergency care center in 1977 was more than just our town receiving it’s first hospital. It marked the first 24/7 emergency room center in America. This week the ACCESSible Emergency Care Center (kown now as Inova)  celebrates 30 years of operation.

In 1977 the closet hospital was 15 miles away in the City of Fairfax. The new center was an immiedate success, with twenty five pateints on its first day. It has continued to grow along with Reston, and now serves about 75 patients a day.

Inova Emergency Care is located in a one story building nestled between Baron Cameron and Fountain Drive.
