🚧 Exciting Progress at the Future Inova Alexandria Hospital! 🏥

Construction is well underway at the former Landmark Mall site (6001 Duke St), where the new Inova Alexandria Hospital is taking shape as part of the WestEnd Alexandria redevelopment.

This state-of-the-art medical campus will include a new hospital, cancer center, and specialty care facilities—all designed to bring expanded, world-class healthcare closer to our community.
