Northwest Hospital, a community hospital located in Randallstown, serves the health care needs of the northwest Baltimore area. The inpatient units' Friesen design places a nursing station outside each patient's room to enable better care. Northwest also leads in surgical innovation, its outpatient services consistently deliver high patient satisfaction, and its highly competent emergency department is one of the most utilized among all hospitals of its size.
As a not-for-profit community acute care hospital, Northwest serves the populations of western Baltimore County, suburban Baltimore City, and Carroll and Howard Counties. It was established in 1962 as Liberty Court Rehabilitation Center, and in 1963 became Baltimore County General Hospital. In June 1993, it changed its name to Northwest Hospital.
The hospital has 264 private inpatient beds that care for medical, surgical, behavioral health, rehabilitative and hospice patients. The Intensive Care, Intermediate Care, and Hospice Units are all new and state-of-the-art. As a Friesen-design hospital, Northwest functions differently from the traditional hospital in that it creates an environment conducive to direct patient care through smaller 20-bed units; elimination of nursing stations; and supplies, medications and charts placed in close proximity to patients.
Northwest Hospital's outpatient programs encompass emergency and specialty services that offer the community medical care from clinicians with advanced certifications and fellowship training. The Outpatient Center at Northwest consistently ranks in the 90th plus percentile for customer service.
