As part of our yearlong celebration to commemorate 50 years of serving the community, we invite you to learn more about us. Since being founded as a Catholic hospital in 1968, MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital has been dedicated to providing easily accessible, quality health care to the communities of northeast Baltimore.
Initially focused on rehabilitation services, we still are recognized for this expertise and are currently building a new, premier rehabilitation facility. We also have expanded, offering other services, including cancer care, emergency medicine, geriatrics, interventional radiology, wound healing, and more. Today, we continue to evolve to meet the communities' needs while honoring our Catholic tradition of caring for our neighbors.
April 1919 Local merchant and philanthropist Thomas J. O'Neill dies suddenly of a heart condition. In his will, he bequeaths money for the construction of the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen, as well as a hospital. He requested that the hospital not be named after him, so the name 'Good Samaritan' was chosen in his honor.
1962 In one of his first major acts after being ordained Archbishop of Baltimore, Cardinal Shehan initiates plans to begin construction of MedStar Good Samaritan as a Catholic Hospital.
