Shady Grove Adventist Hospital - At a Glance

• One of four Maryland hospitals voted by the Maryland Health Care Commission (MHCC) to be granted a two-year waiver to perform non-primary (elective) percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) as part of a multi-state clinical study based on the high-quality of the cardiac program, high volumes of patients and excellent outcomes in this area.
• Designated as a Level IIIB Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), one of the highest possible ratings attainable, that provides a broad range of pediatric medical subspecialists and pediatric surgical specialists. Equipped with the lastest lifesaving technology, the NICU is staffed at all times by neonatalogists (doctors specializing in newborn baby care) and neonatal nurses-all are trained to care for the most complex and high risk situations among newborns.
• Operates the only Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) in Montgomery County and the first comprehensive Pediatric Emergency Department, staffed with fellowship trained, Pediatric Emergency Physicians and Pediatric Intensivists – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A Child Life Specialist is available to help children and their families cope emotionally and developmentally to healthcare experiences in a positive manner.
