About Us

Washington Adventist Hospital is a 288-bed acute-care facility located in Takoma Park, Maryland. Opened in 1907, the hospital is Montgomery County’s first cardiac center, performing more than 500 open-heart surgeries and more than 6,000 heart catheterizations each year.

100 Years of Caring for the Community...and Counting!

In 2007, Washington Adventist Hospital celebrated 100 years of providing care to the communities it serves. As the hospital did a hundred years ago, it continues to strive to remain ahead. For this reason, the hospital is in the process of building a new hospital for the next century. The vision of 21st century facilities is becoming a reality on a 48-acre parcel of land near White Oak, about six miles from our current location — in the heart of the hospital’s primary service area. The new hospital, along with services retained in Takoma Park, will strengthen health care in our region and expand access to health care for the communities it serves in Montgomery and Prince George’s counties and our surrounding areas.

Leading Edge, State-of-the-Art Procedures

The CardioVascular Institute at Washington Adventist Hospital has provided the Washington Metropolitan Area with leading edge, state-of-the art procedures with skill, compassion and experience for the past 25 years. The hospital was the first in the D.C. area to perform numerous cardiac procedures, including mitral valvuloplasty, and a number of sophisticated echocardiography.

The institute was also the first in the mid-Atlantic region to begin performing a revolutionary type of surgery that can correct atrial fibrillation (AF), a common form of heart rhythm abnormality and a major cause of stroke. The procedure, called The Mini-Maze, offers new hope to AF patients for whom no cure now exists.

Washington Adventist Hospital’s radiation oncology program is the first hospital-based facility in all of Montgomery and Prince Georges Counties, and the first facility in the Washington Metropolitan area to be accredited by the American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO).
