Sinai Hospital is an American private hospital based in Baltimore, Maryland, that was founded in 1866 as the Hebrew Hospital and Asylum. It was originally located in East Baltimore, but is now located in Northwest Baltimore's Levindale / West Belvedere.
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 at Sinai Hospital by a team composed of Dr. Michel Mirowski, Dr. Morton Mower, M. Stephen Heilman, and Alois Langer, all of whom are listed in the National Inventors Hall of Fame for their achievement.[2]
Since 1998, Sinai Hospital has been a part of the LifeBridge Health system,[3] 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.
In 2016, the hospital turned 150 years old.[4]
