Dr. Jennifer Lund currently serves as the System Medical Director for Inova Occupational Health and Inova Team Member Health. Dr. Lund received her medical degree from the University of New England College of Osteopathic Medicine and her Master's in Public Health from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. She completed her internship in Internal Medicine at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and her Occupational Medicine residency training at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Dr. Lund also served in the United States Navy for eight years as a Flight Surgeon. 

Prior to joining Inova Occupational Health, Dr. Lund worked at the Police and Fire Clinic in Washington DC. Through her work in the first responder community, she recognized the need to do more for the first responders in Northern Virginia and developed new partnership and programs focusing on cancer screening, mental health, and concussions among various other health and wellbeing initiatives.

Dr. Lund initiated a partnership with Inova’s Cancer Screening and Prevention Center, Saville, to establish a comprehensive cancer screening program for firefighters, which led to Inova’s Firefighter Cancer Screening Study. Additionally, in collaboration with regional mental health experts, she developed a wellness check-in program for firefighters aimed at early detection of mental health symptoms and providing educational materials and/or pathways to care.  Currently, she is collaborating with a local jurisdiction and the George Mason University research team to quantify the physical demands of the firefighting through objective testing measures. She also worked in conjunction with Inova Sports Medicine to launch a concussion screening program for firefighters as part of their annual NFPA exam which also has application to law enforcement as a whole.

Dr. Lund remains active with the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Occupational and Environmental Medicine Residency program through mentorship and education. She is also an active member with the Metro-Washington American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM), the Mid-Atlantic ACOEM, and Science to the Station Occupational Health Working Group.  She co-led Inova’s Cancer Prevention Seminar in 2023, presented at the Metro-Washington Council of Governments meetings since 2023, and presented at the Food on the Stove Summits since 2024.

At the core of new programming, research and collaborative efforts is Dr. Lund’s avid support for a comprehensive approach to firefighter health and safety. She strives to incorporate innovative, evidence-based tools into the offerings available in the Inova Occupational Health program to further this aim.
