Holy Cross Hospital offers a full range of inpatient, outpatient and community-based health care services, with specialized expertise in women and infant services, senior services, surgery, neuroscience and cancer.

Specialists at the hospital deliver more babies and care for more newborns with complex medical issues than any other hospital in Maryland or the District of Columbia.
