Sharon Hendricks named to The Daily Record’s 2026 list of Maryland’s Top 100 Women
LifeBridge Health congratulates Sharon Hendricks, chief administrative officer of Levindale Hebrew Geriatric Center and Hospital, on being named to The Daily Record’s 2026 list of Maryland’s Top 100 Women.
The annual list recognizes high-achieving women across Maryland who are making an impact through leadership, professional achievement and community involvement. Selection is considered a prestigious acknowledgment of influence, dedication and career accomplishments across a wide range of industries.
Being named among Maryland’s Top 100 Women is a meaningful honor, especially alongside so many women who are leading change in their fields and communities. I am proud of the work we are doing at Levindale and grateful for our team members who support our shared mission in caring for our patients, residents and the community we serve.
Hendricks has served LifeBridge Health for more than three decades and officially moved into her current role at Levindale nearly two years ago after serving in an interim capacity. Levindale is a 330-licensed-bed facility offering long-term residential care, subacute rehabilitation and a specialty hospital with a high-intensity care unit, serving as a vital resource for older adults and families across the region.
Prior to her role at Levindale, Hendricks served as assistant vice president of patient experience and subacute operations at Northwest Hospital for nearly seven years. She began her LifeBridge Health career as director of health information management and guest relations at Northwest Hospital and later served as director of patient experience before advancing to senior leadership roles across the health system.
“Sharon is the kind of leader every health system hopes to have,” says Leslie Simmons, executive vice president and chief operating officer of LifeBridge Health. “She combines deep operational expertise with an unwavering commitment to patients, residents and team members. Under her leadership, Levindale continues to excel in quality, innovation and workforce engagement, and her impact is felt across our health system and throughout the community.”
Honorees are selected by a panel of business and legal professionals, previous Maryland’s Top 100 Women recipients and a representative of The Daily Record.
Hendricks and the other honorees will be recognized during an awards celebration May 4 at SECU Arena at Towson University.
