Sinai Hospital recently

completed its South Tower

expansion, an 87,000-

square foot, four-story

addition that includes an

atrium, Intensive Care

Unit and Intermediate

Care Unit.

This year, Sinai Hospital

embarked on a yearlong

celebration of its 50th

year serving the commu-

nity from its Belvedere

Avenue campus by

engaging in random acts

of kindness.

Northwest Hospital, located inRandallstown, serves the healthcare needs of the northwest

Baltimore metropolitan area, includingBaltimore County, western Baltimore city,and Carroll and Howard counties. It wasestablished in 1962 as Liberty CourtRehabilitation Center, and in 1963 becameBaltimore County General Hospital. In June1993, it changed its name to NorthwestHospital.

In keeping with Northwest Hospital’s philosophy of patient-centered care, its facilities have been designed around theFriesen concept, with nursing alcoves out-side each patient room so nurses can spendmore time with their patients. The Friesen-design hospital functions differently fromthe traditional hospital in that it creates anenvironment conducive to direct patient carethrough smaller 20-bed units; private patientrooms; elimination of nursing stations; andsupplies, medications and charts in closeproximity to patients.

Since 2005, nearly $100 million in facilityexpansions, renovations and upgrades havebeen made to virtually every area of thecampus. These building updates were possi-ble thanks to generous community supportfor the hospital’s Renaissance Campaign andcapital funds provided by its parent,LifeBridge Health.
