At the Community Center, one of our goals is to create and host a variety of events for families to come together as a community. This fall season, we have prepared a number of fun events for everyone!
To get into the spirit of Halloween, we’ve created a pumpkin patch in our pool! Our Floating Gourd Night takes place on October 19. Children will jump into the pool, find a pumpkin they like, and decorate it. Pack a swimsuit! This event is a perfect way to get children, and maybe even yourself, into the Halloween spirit!

What differentiates Velocity Urgent Care from “run-of-the-mill” urgent care centers is its focus on what’s important to the patient. “We put patients first in everything we do,” said Alan Ayers, Chief Executive Officer. “We know today’s health care consumer is extremely busy and nobody has time to be sick, so our goal is to get you back to ‘life’ as quickly as possible.”
As a partner with Sentara Healthcare, Velocity Urgent Care works with primary care physicians, providing a copy of the patient’s chart with authorization, and maintains referral relationships with local specialists and facilities for patients who require a higher level of care. “The partnership between Velocity Urgent Care and Sentara Healthcare improves access, coordination, and affordability of care in Prince William County,” said Kathie Johnson, President of Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center.

Seventeen years ago when the planes hit the twin towers on September 11th, he received orders to get to New York City as soon as possible. As Mohnal sat in traffic that morning on Interstate 395, the unthinkable happened, another plane crashed, this time into the Pentagon.
