LifeBridge Health Welcomes Bon Secours Hospital

LifeBridge Health officially welcomed Bon Secours Hospital into its family with a dedication and community celebration on November 9 featuring music, food, health screenings, kids’ activities and more.

The theme of the event was “Growing Together.” As LifeBridge Health looks to bring additional medical specialties, enhanced services and renovations to the hospital, the health system will work with the community on a shared vision for a growing, thriving and healthy West Baltimore.

Among the speakers were U.S. Senator Ben Cardin and Dr. Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, speaking on behalf of her late husband, Congressman Elijah Cummings, who was a passionate champion for the residents of West Baltimore.

At the conclusion of the dedication event, there was an unveiling of enormous 585-square foot banners (18’ X 32.5’ - larger than some studio apartments) on two sides of the hospital.

Bon Secours Hospital officially joined LifeBridge Health on Nov 1. Preliminary plans for the hospital include enhanced emergency services, on-site clinical and primary care, expanded specialty services (including pediatrics, ophthalmology and 3D mammograms) as well as a small medical/surgical unit.

In the months leading up to the transition, members of the LifeBridge Health team been attending community meetings and getting to know residents, church leaders and others. LifeBridge Health has committed to investing in the West Baltimore community, working to complement initiatives that are already in place or are in the planning stages.
