Suburban Hospital 70th Anniversary

Were you born at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda in 1943 or 1944? If so, the hospital wants to hear from you.

To commemorate its 70th Anniversary this December, Suburban Hospital, a member of Johns Hopkins Medicine, is looking for people who were born there to share their stories as part of the hospital’s 70th anniversary celebration.

Suburban Hospital opened its doors on December 13, 1943 as a 130-bed hospital built to accommodate the expanding World War II military population in rural Montgomery County, Maryland. Today, almost 70 years later, the hospital is distinguished by a cutting-edge stroke program; level II trauma center; centers of excellence in cardiac care, orthopedics and joint replacement surgery, neurosciences and oncology; state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment tools; and affiliations with world-class institutions, including the neighboring National Institutes of Health.
