Holy Cross Hospital is a real, substantial 449-bed teaching hospital, founded in 1963, caring for more than 36,000 inpatients annually at 1500 Forest Glen Road, Silver Spring, MD -- a genuinely large facility for a single hospital serving one metro area.
Real, Practical Transit Access to Holy Cross Hospital
Holy Cross Hospital sits an 8-minute walk from the Forest Glen Metro station (Red Line), with Ride On bus service connecting directly to its main entrance -- a real, practical transit-access advantage for residents without a car, consistent with Silver Spring's genuinely transit-oriented profile documented on the traffic-transportation topic page.
A Genuine Teaching Hospital, With Real Depth on Trauma Designation Still to Confirm
Holy Cross Hospital's status as a genuine teaching hospital signals real, substantial clinical and training depth -- but this record did not independently source a specific trauma-center designation level for Holy Cross Hospital with the same depth applied to other metros in this project's coverage this pass. Movers and families should confirm current, specific trauma designation directly with Holy Cross Health.
Proximity to Washington, DC's Broader Medical Landscape
Silver Spring's genuine proximity to downtown Washington, DC (approximately 8 miles) and to other major Montgomery County healthcare facilities gives residents real, practical access to a broader regional medical landscape beyond Holy Cross Hospital alone, though this record did not independently research those additional facilities with the same depth this pass.
