Union Memorial Hospital
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Union Memorial Hospital is a non-profit, acute care teaching hospital located in the North Central section of Baltimore City, with a strong emphasis on cardiac care, orthopedics and sports medicine.
As one of the area’s top specialty hospitals, Union Memorial has been caring for members of the community for more than 150 years. It is renowned for the Curtis National Hand Center, the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Heart Institute, the Decker Orthopaedic Institute and Union Memorial Sports Medicine. Other services include: diabetes and endocrine center, eye surgery center, general surgery, geriatric medicine, oncology, renal dialysis, thoracic surgery, weight management and bariatric center, and wound care.
Some famous individuals have spent time at the hospital. Jazz leader Chick Webb worked in the hospital as a youngster and Mickey Mantle received treatment, as well. In 1939, noted gangster Al Capone spent time at the hospital to cure his syphilis, after his release from Alcatraz. He was so delighted with the care he received, that he donated a cherry tree to the hospital, which still grows today.
Union Memorial is ranked among the nation’s top 100 heart hospitals and was rated a best place to work by the Baltimore Business Journal.
Union Memorial is a proud member of MedStar Health, a community-based network of seven of the Baltimore/Washington area’s finest non-profit hospitals and other health care services.
