Sinai Hospital is an American private hospital based in Baltimore, Maryland, that was founded in 1866 as the Hebrew Hospital and Asylum. It is now a Jewish-sponsored teaching hospital that provides care for patients in the greater Baltimore City, Baltimore County and surrounding communities. The implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) was invented here by the team of Dr. Michel Mirowski, Dr. Morton Mower, M. Stephen Heilman, and Alois Langer who are all in the National Inventors Hall of Fame for their achievement.

Contents

Since 1998, Sinai Hospital has been a part of the LifeBridge Health system, [2] which also runs Northwest Hospital in Randallstown, Carroll Hospital in Westminster, Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Nursing Home (which is across the street from Sinai), Grace Medical Center in West Baltimore City, Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics, several medical office buildings in the Baltimore area, and a health and fitness club called LifeBridge Health & Fitness, located in Pikesville, Maryland.

Sinai Hospital is located in Northwest Baltimore along Belvedere Avenue, near the intersection of Northern Parkway and Greenspring Avenue, and about a block away from Pimlico Race Course. The entrance to the emergency department known as ER-7 is accessible from Greenspring Avenue. The hospital itself is also surrounded by Cylburn and Lanier Avenues.

The hospital is very close to exit 10 off Interstate 83.

Several public bus lines operated by the Maryland Transit Administration serve the hospital, including Routes 1, 27, 44, and 91.

In 2012, Sinai Hospital added the 23,200-square-foot Herman & Walter Samuelson Children’s Hospital space. [3] The hospital celebrates an annual Baltimore Batman Day. [4]

Specialties

The specialty areas at Sinai include:

Famous patients

Former Baltimore Orioles star pitcher Dave McNally was admitted to the hospital in late June 1975 with a case of chronic hiccups that had plagued him for nine days. [5] Former Baltimore Orioles outfielder Paul Blair died at this hospital in late December 2013 after collapsing at a bowling alley in nearby Pikesville, Maryland.

Advanced Medical Training

Sinai Hospital operates a Level II Trauma Center, one of only three in Baltimore itself. [6] As of January 2025, it is home to 7 ACGME-accredited residency programs for training medical residents, and hosts almost 500 medical students annually.

Since in May 2023, Sinai Hospital has functioned as a Regional Medical Campus for medical students from George Washington University, with students applying to conduct most third- and fourth-year rotations at the hospital. Beginning in the Fall of 2024, George Washington University's School of Medicine and Health Sciences has specifically matriculated 30 students in each entering class to complete their third- and fourth-year rotations at Sinai Hospital. [7] These students each receive a scholarship to underwrite part of their studies in Baltimore, thanks to a $10 million donation by Ellen Wasserman. [8]

Notable Faculty

In 2025, Dr. Marcie Feinman, a general surgeon at the hospital, was awarded the Parker J. Palmer Courage to Teach Award by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) . [9]
