Maryland-based Holy Cross Hospital moves ahead on expansion plans

Holy Cross Hospital, which announced plans in August to build a new hospital in Germantown, MD, and expand its existing Silver Spring (MD) facility, said both projects will cost around $476 million. Holy Cross has filed two applications for Certificates of Need with the Maryland Health Care Commission that outline details of the two endeavors. The proposed five-story, 93-bed hospital in Germantown on Montgomery College's campus is estimated to cost $267 million. The Germantown facility will also have an obstetrics/gynecology outpatient clinic.
