Howard County General Hospital
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Howard County General Hospital is a 209-bed, not-for-profit, health care provider located in Columbia, Maryland. Serving the community since 1973, the hospital, with a professional staff of over 800 physicians and allied health professionals, representing more than 70 specialties and subspecialties, and a workforce of more than 1,700, has grown into a comprehensive, acute-care medical center that provides a full range of services, including care for women's and children's care, surgery, cardiology, oncology, orthopedics, gerontology, psychiatry, emergency services, and community health education. Since 1998, it has been a member of Johns Hopkins Medicine.
The hospital is undergoing a 233,656-square-foot (21,707.4 m2) construction/renovation project in its continuing effort to meet the health care needs of the community. The Campus Development Plan includes a new four-story, five-level tower that will house three inpatient floors as well as space for outpatient services and support departments. Renovation of 122,970 square feet (11,424 m2) of existing hospital space will involve nearly every level of the existing hospital building. Upon completion, all patient rooms will be private. New construction is expected to be complete in summer/fall 2009, with renovation complete in fall 2011.
