MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital!

Mission: We are guided by Catholic teachings to provide compassionate, inclusive, and connected care to the community we are entrusted to serve.

MedStar Good Samaritan Hospital was built around a culture that promotes quality, service, and safety to our patients to provide them with the best healthcare experience possible. The hospital was founded in 1968 as a Catholic, not-for-profit hospital through a gift from local merchant and philanthropist Thomas J. O'Neill. It continues today in Catholic tradition, guided by Gospel Values and promoting the healing ministry of Jesus.

MedStar Good Samaritan is known throughout the region for its state-of-the-art, 60,000 square-foot Inpatient Rehabilitation Center, which is accredited for its stroke and rehabilitation programs. In addition to being named a Primary Stroke Center, the hospital offers the latest cancer care, wound healing and hyperbaric medicine, geriatrics, and Collaborative Care Program for management of chronic illnesses. MedStar Good Samaritan offers patients specialty services in a community hospital setting.
