Northwest Hospital, located inRandallstown, serves the healthcare needs of the northwest

Baltimore metropolitan area, includingBaltimore County, western Baltimore city,and Carroll and Howard counties. It wasestablished in 1962 as Liberty CourtRehabilitation Center, and in 1963 becameBaltimore County General Hospital. In June1993, it changed its name to NorthwestHospital.

In keeping with Northwest Hospital’s phi-losophy of patient-centered care, its facilitieshave been designed around the Friesen con-cept, with nursing alcoves outside eachpatient room so nurses can spend more timewith their patients. The Friesen-design hospi-tal functions differently from the traditionalhospital in that it creates an environmentconducive to direct patient care throughsmaller 20-bed units; private patient rooms;elimination of nursing stations; and supplies,medications and charts in close proximity topatients.

Since 2005, nearly $100 million in facilityexpansions, renovations and upgrades havebeen made to practically every area of thecampus. These building updates were possi-ble thanks to generous community supportfor the hospital’s Renaissance Campaign andcapital funds provided by its parent,LifeBridge Health.
