'''Sinai Hospital''' is a [[Baltimore, Maryland]] hospital originally founded in 1866 as the Hebrew Hospital and Asylum. It is now a [[Jewish]]-sponsored teaching hospital that provides care for all people. It is notable as the birthplace of the [[implantable cardioverter-defibrillator]], or ICD, invented by the team of Dr. [[Michel Mirowski]], Dr. [[Morton Mower]], [[M. Stephen Heilman]], and [[Alois Langer]] who are all in the [[National Inventors Hall of Fame]] for their achievement.
Currently, Sinai Hospital is a part of the [[Lifebridge Health]] system, which also runs [[Northwest Hospital Center (Maryland)|Northwest Hospital]] in [[Randallstown, Maryland|Randallstown]], Levindale nursing home (which is across the street from Sinai), Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics, several medical office buildings in the Baltimore area, and a health and fitness club.
==Location==
Sinai Hospital is located in Northwest Baltimore along Belvedere Avenue, near the intersection of [[Northern Parkway (Baltimore)|Northern Parkway]] and [[Greenspring Avenue]], and about a block away from [[Pimlico Race Course]]. The entrance to the emergency room known as ER-7 is accessible from Greenspring Avenue. The hospital itself is also surrounded by Cylburn and Lanier Avenues.
The hospital is very close to exit 10 off [[Interstate 83]].
Several public bus lines operated by the [[Maryland Transit Administration]] serve the hospital, including Routes [[Route 1 (Baltimore)|1]], [[Route 27 (Baltimore)|27]], [[Route 44 (Baltimore)|44]], and [[Route 91 (Baltimore)|91]].
