There are only a few days left of 2023, and what a year it has been. We have certainly had our ups and downs. I can’t deny that we experienced significant financial challenges; however, thanks to our incredible leaders and workforce, we are in a much better position now.
In November, we opened our Louis and Phyllis Friedman Building, which is a wonderful symbol of GBMC’s bright future! As things have gotten underway in the new building, we’ve continued construction on the Sandra R. Berman Pavilion, the future home of the Sandra and Malcolm Berman Cancer Institute. As we have been modernizing and making improvements to our campus, we have remained steadfast to our commitments to advanced primary care and improving access to care in underserved communities. We have made such strides in quality improvement that we were recognized nationally by the president and chief executive officer of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement this month.
In addition to the highlights above, I wanted to take a moment to share some of our other significant recognitions and accomplishments this year:
- Baltimore Sun – Best Hospital
- Baltimore Style – Best ER/Hospital
- Baltimore Style – Best Vein Center
- Baltimore's Child – Best Place to Deliver Your Baby
- Baltimore's Child – Best ER for Kids
- Baltimore's Child – Best Pediatric Hospital Runner Up
- Baltimore Jewish Times – Best ER/Hospital
- Baltimore Jewish Times – Best Vein Center
- Forbes – America's Best Employers
- Newsweek – America's Best Maternity Hospitals
- HIMSS – EMRAM Stage 7 Revalidation
- Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX) – Best 50 Healthcare Provider
- American Hospital Association – One of four finalists to receive the Foster G. McGaw Prize for Excellence in Community Service national award
- Baltimore Magazine – Eight Excellence in Nursing winners
- Newsweek – America's Greatest Workplaces 2023
- The Luminis Health Gilchrist Lifecare Institute – Gilchrist’s joint venture with regional healthcare provider Luminis – began to offer elder care and hospice care in Prince George’s County, Maryland’s second most populous subdivision with nearly one million residents. Through this innovative partnership, we are extending our reach to provide the highest quality counseling, support, and care to even more Marylanders with serious illnesses so they may live life to the fullest.
I’m proud of the groundwork we have been laying for over a decade and of what we have accomplished at GBMC HealthCare in 2023. We look forward to what 2024 will bring! Thanks to the entire GBMC family and Happy New Year!
