Hospital

Washington Hospital Center is the largest private hospital in the nation's capital. In 2008, it celebrates its 50th year of indispensable service to the nation's capital and metropolitan region. Founded in March 1958, when three specialty hospitals merged into one, the Hospital Center occupies a 47-acre campus that it shares with three other medical facilities in Northwest Washington, DC.

A proud member of MedStar Health, the not-for-profit Hospital Center has 926 licensed beds offering primary, secondary and tertiary health care services to adult and neonatal patients. In fiscal year 2007, 46,209 inpatients --including 4,556 births-- and 389,803 outpatients were treated. In addition, more than 50 other hospitals referred nearly 6,300 of their most complicated medical cases to Washington Hospital Center.
