History

In 1944, a group of people, including Joseph Hayes, Fred L. Lutes, Lee H. Robinson, Genevieve Wells, and I.C. Whitaker, incorporated the Silver Spring Hospital Association in order to build a hospital in Silver Spring, Maryland.[4] On July 22, 1959, plans to build and establish a hospital, named Holy Cross Hospital, in Silver Spring, Maryland, were released to the public.[5] Montgomery County gave 25 acres of land on Forest Glen Road, but 14 of the acres were later given up in order to build the Capital Beltway.[6][7] The Silver Spring Hospital Association had wanted to build a hospital on the remaining land, but it could not raise sufficient funding to do so until the Sisters of the Holy Cross congregation agreed to a large financial contribution.[8] Additional funding came from a federal grant and from individual donors.[9] The Silver Spring Hospital Association gave its land to the future Holy Cross Hospital.[10] Montgomery County approved a special exception zoning permit to build the hospital on ten acres of land on Forest Glen Road in Silver Spring.[11] A ground-breaking ceremony was held on May 8, 1960.[12] Holy Cross Hospital was dedicated on January 6, 1963.[8] Mrs. Robert K. Duckett was the first patient admitted to Holy Cross Hospital, and her daughter Dora Jean Duckett was the first baby born at the hospital.[13] Since its opening, Holy Cross Hospital had a policy of treating patients regardless of their race or religion.[14]

The hospital is a member of Trinity Health, as is Holy Cross Germantown. The hospital was the first in Maryland to have an MRI machine. In 2008, the hospital created an emergency center specifically designed to treat seniors who had acute health problems that were not life-threatening.[15]

In 2015, the hospital concluded an expansion on the same footprint in Silver Spring.[16]

Transportation

Holy Cross Hospital is serviced by Ride On bus number 8. Washington Metro service on the Red Line is also available at the nearby Forest Glen station.
