Win believes deeply that philanthropic dollars should advance innovation, improve outcomes, and strengthen an organization’s ability to serve. Inspired by Inova’s leadership and vision, he has consistently expressed confidence in Inova’s commitment to compassionate care, cutting-edge research, and the thoughtful integration of technology and biotechnology to advance patient care. 

In recognition of both his vision and generosity, Win has made transformative investments to strengthen Inova’s capacity to deliver exceptional care. Win’s gift to endow the Director of the Molecular Tumor Board at Inova Schar Cancer Institute ensures sustained leadership in cancer innovation and multidisciplinary collaboration – a top-notch resource for patients today and in the future. In addition, his planned gift commitment to Inova’s Greatest Needs fund reflects extraordinary trust in Inova’s leadership and a long-term belief in its ability to respond nimbly to the most urgent and emerging needs of the community. 

Win Sheridan exemplifies what it means to give with purpose, clarity, and heart, and his philanthropy has helped ensure Inova remains the premier destination for healthcare in DC and Northern Virginia.
