Company History
It all began back in 1956, when a group of concerned Fairfax County citizens met at the home of Grace Lucas to discuss ways to bring quality healthcare to the growing community. The group formed the Fairfax Hospital Association to build and operate a hospital in the county, and in 1961, Fairfax Hospital opened its doors.
