Pediatric Specialists of Virginia is proud to celebrate our 7-Year Anniversary today!

PSV was formed as a joint venture between Children’s National Hospital and Inova Health System, back on September 30, 2013. We originally launched with five specialties. Since then we have grown to feature 22 pediatric specialties, and we have seen/treated over 500,000 patients and counting!

A huge thank you to all of our patients and families who choose us for their care. We would also like to recognize our expert clinical staff for their compassionate care, our administrative team, our parent organizations for their unwavering support, and our valued community partners. Thank you for supporting our mission to provide the best pediatric specialty care possible for the children of Northern Virginia and surrounding communities!

Together we will continue to Make It All Better for every child/family that walks through our doors and/or we care for virtually via telemedicine.

Happy Anniversary, PSV!

PSV, led by Dr. Rebecca Levorson and Dr. Suchitra Hourigan, has partnered with Inova Children’s Hospital and Virginia Department of Health on a COVID-19 Antibody Study to learn about the spread of  COVID-19 among children and teens. Testing is FREE and CONFIDENTIAL to all who meet the criteria – please see the COVID-19 Study flyer for full details! The study will take place at our Hamaker Ct. location every Friday during August.

How to determine if your child is eligible? Visit: https://itmi.inova.org/redcap/surveys/ and enter the code DFDRP84TD. Complete the survey to determine your child’s eligibility. All eligible participants will be directed to a scheduling system to set up an appointment. Once the participant’s blood has been drawn, they will receive a $20 gift card!

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to help PSV, Inova Children’s Hospital, and the Virginia Department of Health to learn more about COVID-19!

As we slowly and safely increase our in-person services/elective surgeries, we want our patients and families to know about the social distancing and safety measures we’ve implemented due to COVID-19.  The safety of our staff and patients/families is our top priority.  We know that the children of Northern Virginia and surrounding communities are in need of critical and chronic pediatric specialty care and we want our patients/families to rest assured that we’re taking all of the proper precautions to make sure your in-person visit is as safe as possible.
