We celebrated the opening of the Charlotte S. Benjamin Center for Women’s Health at Tysons Pavilion alongside Fairfax County Supervisor Dalia Palchik —and the establishment of a $1 million endowment to support its work.

This fund will expand access to care for underserved women and directly address health disparities in our community, supporting services that include breast health, gynecologic care, and menopause care.

This opening reflects community-centered, regional growth. The impact extends beyond our Main Campus in Arlington, demonstrating how VHC Health is expanding access while continuing to deliver the high-touch, personalized care that defines our model.
