Shady Grove Medical Center provides a range of health services to the community such as high-risk obstetrical care, cardiac and vascular care, oncology services, orthopedic care, surgical services and pediatric care. Opened in 1979 as Shady Grove Adventist Hospital, Shady Grove Medical Center operates as part of Adventist HealthCare, a health-care delivery system that includes hospitals, home health agencies and other health-care services. Adventist HealthCare is headquartered in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

History

When Shady Grove Adventist Hospital admitted its first patient in December 1979, it was located in a "rural" part of Montgomery County, surrounded by fields. With some 2,100 employees, 1,200 Medical Staff and Allied Health Professionals, and 350 to 380 volunteers per month, Shady Grove Adventist delivers more than 5,000 babies, treats more than 108,000 emergency patients at its main Rockville and Germantown emergency locations, and cares for more than 60,000 inpatients each year.

In 2009, the hospital completed a four-year $100 million expansion and renovation project[9] with an expanded NICU and new Pediatric Emergency Department and an expanded state-of-the-art Surgical Services area.

In October 2014, the hospital's name changed from Shady Grove Adventist Hospital to Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center. The change was part of a branding initiative to emphasize the Adventist HealthCare system name and better reflect the facility's broad range of services.[10]

Medical services

The medical center provides medical and non-medical services for men, women and children. Medical services include pediatrics, bariatric surgery, cardiology, vascular, orthopedics, oncology, radiology, wound care, surgical services, special care services and emergency services.[11][12]
