#FridayFaces ~ This is Deb, M.S.CCC-SLP, BCS-S,CEIM, one of our incredible Senior Speech Pathologists. She’s been a speech pathologist for over 30 years and a part of the Inova Loudoun Hospital (ILH) team for almost 22 years.

She’s worked as an inpatient and outpatient therapist here at ILH. Currently, Deb treats most of our #NICUstrong babies and pediatric outpatients that have feeding and swallowing problems. She also sees babies in our outpatient NICU Follow Up Clinic.

Fun personal fact: she just completed her 500th Pure Barre class (wow!)! To relax she likes to walk with friends, hang out with her family and dogs, read and take Pure Barre classes.

#FridayFaces ~ Today’s healthcare hero is Cindy, our incredible Birth Registrar who is celebrating 25 years of being an Inova Loudoun Hospital team member!

She loves helping parents complete their newborn's birth certificate paperwork and enjoys being able to see all the babies and moms. She also helps coordinate our awesome volunteers who assemble all of our discharge folders.

Fun fact: Cindy loves horseback riding and spending time in the country. She has two small dogs that are her children.

Reading, planting flowers and going on adventures with her wonderful husband are just a few ways she relaxes. #InovaHeroes

Today, we celebrate the one year anniversary of our North Tower “Opening Day!”

While we were slated to open on April 25, 2020, we quietly opened early to safely accommodate the COVID-19 patient population with the onset of the pandemic last spring.

To celebrate this historic milestone, the first babies born in the new building were invited to a Washington Nationals “Opening Week” game. Here is a picture of Anne – the first baby girl born in the North Tower – enjoying “Opening Day” at Nationals Park!

Inova is the Official Health System of the Washington Nationals.

Kelly Ellington, RDN with Inova's Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation department, is getting the vaccination shot to protect herself and her unborn baby from the effects of COVID-19. See what she had to say:

“Pregnant women may be more likely to suffer severe illness from COVID-19, including ICU admission, the need for mechanical ventilation, and even death. Furthermore, pregnant women who contract COVID-19 may see adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm birth. Early evidence suggests that vaccinated mothers may pass COVID-19 antibodies to their children either in-utero or via breastmilk, which offers me additional peace of mind that I am doing the right thing for my future child. These factors, along with my increased risk for exposure to the virus as a healthcare worker, led me to my decision.”
