Late in the summer of this year, I began my professional j<strong>our</strong>ney with <strong>Inova</strong><br />
when I joined the <strong>Inova</strong> <strong>Health</strong> <strong>System</strong> <strong>Foundation</strong>. However, my personal<br />
connection to <strong>Inova</strong> began long before that time with the birth of my two sons<br />
at <strong>Inova</strong> Alexandria Hospital, visits to the ER, and my own physical therapy for<br />
an old sports injury.<br />
As you will see in the 2011 Philanthropy <strong>Report</strong>, many grateful patients<br />
generously supported <strong>Inova</strong>’s hospitals, programs, and the highly skilled<br />
people who touched their lives. Each donor has a compelling story to share.<br />
We have included a few of the most inspiring.<br />
In 2011, more individuals, corporations, and foundations made contributions<br />
than ever before – from thoughtful to visionary gifts – each of which will have<br />
a lasting impact on the type of medical care we all can take advantage of for<br />
years to come.<br />
<strong>Inova</strong> is at a critical juncture as we seek to shape the future of health through<br />
renowned medical experts, cutting-edge medical technology, groundbreaking<br />
research, and state-of-the-art facilities. Our vision is to optimize the health<br />
and well-being of each individual we serve by providing personalized wellness<br />
strategies and treatment. The philanthropic investments of each of <strong>our</strong> donors<br />
have enabled us to make great strides in realizing this vision.<br />
Thank you to all of you who partnered with us this past year with y<strong>our</strong><br />
magnanimous philanthropic support!<br />
With gratitude,<br />
Anthony Burchard<br />
President<br />
