    From Leesburg Today, "Inova to build Ashburn Healthplex"

    I really hope that the BOS, if they approve it, wrings the same proffers out of Inova that were offered by HCA for the Broadlands hospital.

    We should have HCA as a Broadlands partner/neighbor instead of this healthplex which will most likely be a full-blown hospital by the time it is done expanding.

    Yep. I hope someone on the BoS points out there wasn't a need and asks the tough question of why did that change. Better yet I hope HCA finds a way to sue them.

    Yup, six years later and still no second hospital and still no competition for Inova.

    I continue to be amazed at the financial and political power of the non-profit Inova. They are a machine.

    Well, Inova pumped lots of money to BoS candidates last election. (Gee, what a surprise, I wasn't one of them!). They will get this approved with little fuss and few proffers. Remember, Inova's proffers for their approved hospital on Rte 50 were a fraction of what BRMC offered.

    They made lots of arguments about near the Greenway as being a bad place to locate a facility....and then went on a hunting spree to find a location next to the Greenway.

    The wanted the county to follow the Healthcare CPAM that promotes co-location and expansion of existing facilities......and now wants to build a free-standing one miles away from their campus.

    Or maybe they want to put a facility between two (one existing and one planned) HCA facilities to draw business away from them. That's a marketing plan!

    Hospitals' are a political, competitive cut-throat industry.
