Definition/ Introduction

 

Also Known As (AKA)

Perhaps Euphemistically called The Institute, the local state mental hospital.

 

Website

Relevance

Most Large Group Meetings of the RRWG currently and historically take place at the Institute. The Regional Support Center subgroup is said to be hosted there, but not for walk as purposed due, perhaps, to facility, security and access controls if not Mentalism... Training and other information is said to be offered off site and perhaps, with cooperation, online on the Interactive Website subgroup...

 

Institute Location

  1. Somewhat centrally located in the region's largest county Fairfax County.
  2. Behind INOVA Fairfax Hospital in Merrifield, VA.

Human Powered Transportation

Pedal (and/or foot) power might get one to the Institute though major roads like the Beltway, Rt50 and Gallows Road and parking would be a problem.

Note: Not far from the Fairfax County Cross County Trail off Prosperity...

Little to none in the Institute without being staff or a resident/inmate.

INOVA Fairfax Hospital has a cafeteria and snack places within walking/ rolling distance.

An Asian restaurant near Giant at Rt 50 & Gallows Rd.
