About GW MFA
MFA physicians provide comprehensive patient care, offering one practice for the whole person with 52 medical and surgical specialties. As members of the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences faculty, MFA providers are teachers and mentors for medical students, residents, fellows, and researchers preserving the rich tradition of academics, research, and healing. In addition to maintaining a closely integrated alliance with The George Washington University and The George Washington University Hospital (GWUH) which is separately owned and operated by Universal Health Services (UHS), the GW MFA has active referring relationships with 12 area hospitals.
The GW MFA’s leading healthcare presence in the DC metro region is complemented by a network of community-based practices in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Given its geographic location in central NW Washington, DC, and proximity to more than 175 resident embassies, the MFA continues to evolve its international clinical outreach.
At The GW Medical Faculty Associates, we strive to do nothing less than to transform the art of healing. We have more than 700 providers that care for patients through over 50 medical specialties. They write the books your physician studies today and teach the doctors who will treat your sons and daughters tomorrow.
We are committed to comprehensive, thorough and accessible patient care. We see patients on our main campus at GW University, Sibley Memorial, Suburban and INOVA Fairfax Hospitals, too. We are a sought-after resource for patients who come here from all over the world, and for doctors as far away as Antarctica who seek our counsel through telemedicine.
We are national leaders in implementation of the Electronic Healthcare Record, which allows your doctors to work from a single, secure electronic patient file. That contains costs and makes treatment plans more precise, and expedites the pace of clinical research.
We are a 501 (c) 3, not-for-profit organization. Our mission is to enrich lives through the delivery of exceptional care that exceeds the expectations of our patients and their families, transform healthcare education and advance discovery.
