CELEBRATING DOCS Northern Virginia’s best doctors, nurses and caregivers were honored for their can-do spirit and awe-inspiring achievements by not-for-profit Inova at its annual, sold-out Honors Dinner. CEO Knox Singleton and Foundation President Tony Burchard recognized the very best of Inova’s 5,000 physicians and 4,000 nurses, including Drs. Ashish Chawla, Craig Cheifetz and James Thompson with video tributes and plaques at the dinner, which was followed by dancing to the legendary funk/soul band The Commodores. A gift of $1 million by the Simpson Family of Alexandria was also announced. “The essential thread which holds every community together are the doctors, nurses and caregivers of our community hospital, and we have the best in Inova,” said principal sponsor Shaza L. Andersen, CEO of Washington First Bank. VIEW ALL THE PHOTOS AT WWW WASHINGTONLIFE COM
