Sinai Hospital breaks ground on project to double emergency department size

Sinai Hospital broke ground Wednesday on a $50 million expansion that will double the size of its emergency room facilities. The old emergency department at the Northwest Baltimore hospital at 2401 West Belvedere Ave. will be gutted to make way for the new 70,100-square-foot facility, hospital President Daniel Blum said. LifeBridge Health, the medical system that operates Sinai, has sought to expand the emergency department for years, he added, with planning starting during the pandemic.
