It operates as a part of Adventist Healthcare, a faith-based healthcare organization headquartered in Rockville, Maryland.
Medical Services
Shady Grove Adventist Hospital operates the busiest Emergency Department in Montgomery County, with over 80,000 visits annually. In addition, over 10 years ago, the hospital opened Montgomery County Maryland’s first full-service pediatric emergency room. The hospital also offers a comprehensive line of women’s and children’s services as well as additional services that include: Bariatrics, Cardiology, Orthopedics, Wound Care, Surgical, and Emergency Services.
A Planetree Hospital
Recently, Shady Grove Adventist Hospital became the first hospital in the state of Maryland to commit to the Planetree philosophy of patient-centered care. Planetree hospitals are dedicated to the healing of mind-body-spirit; are patient-centered, value-based, holistic; and support the safety of patients through active involvement in their own care.
