Bethesda Memorial Hospital - Our History

As the flagship of Bethesda Healthcare System, Bethesda Memorial Hospital is a fully accredited, community, not-for-profit hospital offering a full array of healthcare services through our Centers of Excellence.

Bethesda Memorial Hospital opened its doors in 1959 with 70 beds, a medical staff of 32 physicians, 65 employees and a mission to serve the community. At that time, the Hospital's founders made a decision to establish Bethesda as a not-for-profit hospital. For nearly 50 years, the commitment to preserving this status has not wavered.

It is this commitment to our community that has allowed Bethesda to grow and become a 401-bed, community, not-for-profit hospital with a mission "to provide quality health services in a caring manner." With 500 physicians in more than 40 areas of specialty, and a hospital staff of more than 2,000 employees, Bethesda Memorial Hospital, and its affiliates, offer a full array of healthcare services, including a nationally accredited  vascular institute ; general and specialized surgery; maternity services; a Level III neonatal intensive care unit; pediatric and  pediatric intensive care services ; programs for wound care and hyperbaric medicine ; the  Bethesda Comprehensive Cancer Center , an Affiliate of the H.
