PSV Releases Its 2018 Annual Report

Pediatric Specialists of Virginia (PSV) is proud to announce the release of its 2018 Annual Report.

The annual report covers the many achievements, meaningful growth, and community partnerships the organization and respective pediatric specialties were able to develop and execute throughout 2018.

Our mission is to provide the best pediatric specialty care possible to the children and families we serve in Northern Virginia and this report is a testament to the dedication and commitment of our entire team.

Because PSV’s staff members work to Make It All Better for our patients and their families, this year’s Annual Report is centered on PSV’s core values – C.A.R.E. (Compassion, Advocacy, Redefining Healthcare, and Excellence).

Please view our most recent Annual Report to see the strides we’ve made in the past year and our focus for the year to come.

PSV’s Elizabeth Yang, MD (Hematology and Oncology) and Director of INOVA’s Pediatric Sickle Cell Program, was featured on Channel 16 News discussing sickle cell anemia and the progress being made in treating sickle cell anemia whether it’s through medications, vaccinations, or bone marrow transplants.

Gabriella Leach, Dr. Yang’s seven-year-old patient, is one of the small percent of people that have been cured of the sickle cell disease. This is due to her older sister, Breanna, who was the closest match for her.

“I was happy to be a donor for Gabi”, she said. “I don’t know what my life would be like without a younger sister and getting one and losing her would be really hard”.
