An “Evolution to Excellence” Excerpts only – Excludes Confidential Financial Information Loudoun Medical Group One Group. Infinite Possibilities. Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors Message: An “Evolution to Excellence” Table of Contents 2016 was a monumental year for Loudoun Medical Group. LMG’s continued growth and success is a testament to the power of collaboration among physicians and administration toward common goals of quality patient care and financial success. In fact, LMG’s quality scores, as measured by CMS and other payors, are nearly 100%. Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors Message 1 Furthermore, LMG achieved its best financial position in its history during 2016. LMG has more than doubled in size since the current Management Team was formed in 2011. In addition to Organization Chart 2 growth, 2016 introduced a number of initiatives that support LMG Pods working together as one group for a common purpose, including the LMG Laboratory and the development of the LMG Multi-Specialty Suite on the campus of StoneSprings Hospital in southern Loudoun County. LMG will develop further initiatives in 2017 that 2016 – 2017 Board of Directors Members and Medical Director 3 leverage the size and scope of LMG’s Pods and support common goals while generating revenue. We are proud to note that all growth has been independent of a hospital system or any type of external corporate capital infusion. Practice Locations / Map 4 Reflection on LMG’s accomplishments is appealing and is certainly necessary, but we must always keep our fingers on the pulse of LMG’s preparedness for future challenges. Clearly, LMG is no stranger to the ever- Loudoun Medical Group Growth Chart 5 changing healthcare environment. LMG has partnered with CMS and every major commercial payor to build value-based programs that reward high-quality, low-cost care. LMG’s involvement in such programs will only deepen over time. Our focus on providing pre and post-discharge care coordination, reducing avoidable hospital Loudoun Medical Group Shareholders 6-12 readmissions, managing referrals and voluntarily participating in value-based programs are absolutely vital to our long-term success. Loudoun Medical Group Shareholder Track Physicians 13 We welcome value-based medicine as it will reward LMG for the years of investment made in our clinical, operating and information systems and enable us to increasingly capitalize on our strong relationships with managed care partners. LMG looks forward to leading the charge in 2017, while remaining dedicated to the Loudoun Medical Group Clinical Providers 14-18 fundamentals of our mission – providing patients with exceptional care. We will stay focused on growing our information systems, expanding telemedicine, integrating the principles of population health into everyday clinical workflows and completing a number of capital strengthening initiatives including the addition of new specialties Administrative Staff 19 and integration with the rapidly expanding StoneSprings Hospital market. LMG’s dedication to the community remains a core value. The LMG Charitable Foundation donated $86,500 to Charges / Payments / Expenses 20-22 local charities during 2016 as a result of events such as the LMG Pod Fair & Charity Raffle, as well as employee payroll deductions. Specifically, LMG has been a strong supporter of the Loudoun Free Clinic, where many LMG physicians have held leadership and volunteer positions over the years; Loudoun’s Habitat for Humanity; the Office Managers 23-24 coordination of LMG-wide food drives throughout the year to support area food banks in the Loudoun and Alexandria communities; and supporting such organizations as the Loudoun County Fire & Rescue Department, Employee Statistics 25 Loudoun Abused Women’s Shelter (LAWS), Loudoun Therapeutic Riding, and Backpack Buddies, whose mission is to provide nutritious meals for children and youth in the community. These are just a few examples of the dozens of programs that help expand our reach far beyond patient care in the practices. Practice Profiles 26-68 By focusing on our patients, and prioritizing the patient experience, LMG has built a financially successful enterprise and forged a respected and recognized name throughout Northern Virginia. As a leader in innovative Office Directory and Philanthropic Activities 67-69 health care solutions, our commitment to implementing new technologies, improving patient care, expanding services and locations, remains strong. We are proud of our accomplishments in 2016 and look forward to a successful 2017.

  • Indians of Virginia 350 Years Ago BRUCED
    Indians of Virginia 350 Years Ago BRUCED. REYNOLDS University of Virginia America had been discoveced by primitive man long before Colum- bus sailed westward. No evidence uncovered so far indicates that man evolved from the prehuman condition to modem man in the Western Hemisphere, but we do have proof that man inhabited this country during the Pleistocene period. At Folsom, New Mexico, and later at Collins, Colorado, manrnade artifacts were found beneath the bones of an extinct species of bison. Near Clovis, New Mexico, these so-called '%olsom" points have been found with the skull of a mammoth. The age of these characteristic darts is estimated to be from 10,000 to 20,000 years. Folsom points have been found extensively over the United States, and over one hundred have been reported from Virginia. In the October, 1956, issue of the National Geographic Maga- zine, Carl F. Miller describes diggings in Russell Cave in north- eastern Alabama. These findings indicate a continuous human occupancy for the past 8,000 years. The excavations have not been completed, but there is the possibility that the time of its habitation will exceed 15,000 years. The Richmond Times-Dispatch for October 14, 1956, page 32-A, carries two articles dealing with early man in America. One states that a spearhead found with a human skeleton indicates that: 'The four Turin, Iowa, skeletons were buried about 4,500 B. C." The other article informs us that: 'A Texas anthropologist says radiocarbon tests show a woman's skull found near Midland, Tex., three years ago apparently is 20,000 years old-the oldest human remains ever found in the Western Hemisphere." The skull is "not unlike that of the modern American Indian." A few years ago I was impressed by a collection of copper arti- facts in a Madison, Wisconsin, museum.
