Silver Spring, Maryland (founded 1963)
Holy Cross Hospital is the second largest hospital in Maryland.
Founded in 1963 by the Congregation of the Sisters of the
Holy Cross, today Holy Cross Hospital is a 425-bed, not-for-profit,
faith-based and mission-driven teaching hospital. Located
in Silver Spring, Maryland, just north of Washington, D.C.,
and near the Capital Beltway and Metro, the hospital primarily
serves residents of the state's two largest jurisdictions,
Montgomery and Prince George's counties.
Holy Cross Hospital offers a full range of inpatient and outpatient
primary and specialty health care services, with specialized
expertise in surgery, neuroscience, cancer, women and infants'
services, and senior care. Specialists at the hospital perform
more inpatient gynecologic surgeries, deliver more babies
and care for more critically ill newborns than any other hospital
in Maryland. The hospital also dedicates more funding to community
benefit than any other in Montgomery County.
More than 1,200 physicians are affiliated with Holy Cross
Hospital, making its medical staff one of the largest in the
state. More than 3,200 people work at Holy Cross Hospital,
including 1,000 nurses, and the hospital is the only one in
Maryland to receive the Workplace Excellence Award from the
Maryland Work-Life Alliance every year since 1999. Holy Cross
Hospital is a member of the American Hospital Association,
the Maryland Hospital Association, the Catholic Health Association
and the Association of American Medical College's Council
