| Support Network Feature INOVA Hospital System |
|---|
 For those who aren't familiar with the INOVA health system, they are the largest in Northern Virginia. The flagship hospital, INOVA Fairfax, offers a trauma center, a premier neo-natal unit and is typically ranked in the top 10 for annual U.S. birth and deliveries. This is a lean-mean baby machine for local woman. As one would expect, they offer a wide variety of classes for expectant and new moms. Most moms that I have spoken with absolutely feel in the love with the classes and counselors. Note, you will get solid advice from trained professionals, but some local moms have warned that it depends on your instructor. To assist with your search, I would recommend calling to find out more information before you sign up for any classes. www.inova.org
