Mission Statement

Sinai Hospital of Baltimore provides a broad array of high-quality, cost-effective health and health-related services to the people of Greater Baltimore. Central to its role is the provision of undergraduate and graduate medical education and educational programs to other health professionals, employees and the community at large.

Vision Statement

Building upon its Jewish heritage, exceptional clinical strengths and its history of service, Sinai will emerge as a unique institution in the Maryland health care marketplace and be a model for the nation by being a comprehensive health care provider.

Sinai Hospital was founded in 1866 as the Hebrew Hospital and Asylum and has evolved into a Jewish-sponsored health care organization providing care for all people. Sinai is a nonprofit institution with a mission of providing quality patient care, teaching and research. Sinai Hospital is an agency of THE ASSOCIATED: Jewish Community Federation of Baltimore. Sinai Hospital has 467 acute beds and 35 newborn bassinets.

The following numbers reflect actual staffed beds.

The Teaching Hospital
Sinai, with a mission that includes the teaching of future generations of health professionals, shares many of the characteristics of a university-owned hospital. Its own distinguished full-time faculty, many of whom are nationally and internationally recognized experts in their fields, hold teaching positions at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Several thousand applications are received every year for the graduate medical training positions available at Sinai Hospital. Total resident physicians and fellows based at Sinai for FY 2006 was 145. 

Approximately 400 medical students receive clinical training each year at Sinai. It is a training site for Johns Hopkins University medical students during their mandatory ambulatory and third-year internal medicine clerkships.
