Feb 20, 2015

Fairfax, VA, February 20, 2015 – Pediatric Specialists of Virginia (PSV) is proud to announce that it is now officially a public charity with tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the US Internal Revenue Code.  All donations to Pediatric Specialists of Virginia are fully tax-deductible retroactive to the founding of the organization on September 30, 2013.
PSV is also now eligible to apply for government and foundation grants specific to public charities, which will further expand its access to resources that strengthen the organization’s ability to better serve children in and around Northern Virginia.

“We are fortunate to be able to proceed down paths forged by our parent organizations, Children’s National Health System and Inova, as charitable organizations furthering education and research into the care of children.  With PSV’s status as a public charity, individuals and organizations may make tax exempt contributions toward pediatric research, education and care to the underserved and families experiencing hardship,” said Dr. Leon Moores, PSV Chief Executive Officer.

Since inception, Pediatric Specialists of Virginia has focused on its mission of providing high-quality pediatric specialty care to the children of Virginia through clinical excellence, innovation, education, research, and family-centered care.  With continued growth in the number of services and specialties PSV can offer, and the top notch providers and staff it maintains, PSV will be able to “Make It All Better” for even more children.

About Pediatric Specialists of Virginia (PSV): Pediatric Specialists of Virginia (PSV) is a 501(c)(3) public charity that was initially formed as a unique joint venture by Children’s National Health System and Inova.  The vision of our founding partners was to create a Northern Virginia-based, physician group practice dedicated exclusively to the needs of children.  In 2013, these two pediatric powerhouses drew from their resources to form Pediatric Specialists of Virginia, offering children and families in Northern Virginia access to the best specialty care possible.  Pediatric Specialists of Virginia launched with five specialties and has tripled in size over the last 18 months.  In the next several years, PSV will grow with additional specialties and services for those we serve, including the expansion of a state-of-the-art pediatric Ambulatory Surgery Center in Spring, 2015.  For more information about PSV, please visit psvcare.org/aboutpsv.
