'Sinai Hospital' is a
Baltimore, Maryland hospital originally founded in 1866 as the Hebrew Hospital and Asylum. It is now a
Jewish-sponsored teaching hospital that provides care for all people. It is notable as the birthplace of the
implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, or ICD, invented by the team of Dr.
Michel Mirowski, Dr.
Morton Mower,
M. Stephen Heilman, and
Alois Langer who are all in the
National Inventors Hall of Fame for their achievement.
Currently, Sinai Hospital is a part of the
Lifebridge Health system, which also runs
Northwest Hospital in
Randallstown, Levindale nursing home (which is across the street from Sinai), Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics, several medical office buildings in the Baltimore area, and a health and fitness club.
