Honor Your Caregiver

Dr. Kathleen Petro

Inova Fairfax Medical Campus

I am alive and well. This outcome is not a matter of chance, but a direct result of the medical team at Inova Fairfax, who give their lives to the mission of saving others. You fought for my heart with a skill that healed my body and a humanity that restored my soul. I am here because of you. I owe you my life, and I will carry the lesson of your compassion forward, always.
