Baltimore, MD - Oct. 1, 2024  - Boruch Hashem, Bikur Cholim of Baltimore has now added another jewel to the crown of services it provides to the Baltimore community. 

As we come into this Yom Tov season, Bikur Cholim is proud to announce the opening of a new Bikur Cholim Kosher Hospitality Room at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital. 

As our community expands and needs have grown, people have been regularly utilizing more of the numerous medical institutions in town. In recognition of this, MedStar Union Memorial Hospital worked with Bikur Cholim of Baltimore to see how they could better accommodate our community.  The Bikur Cholim Kosher Hospitality Room has been designed to provide a warm and inviting atmosphere for those in need, It is stocked with kosher meals and snacks, coffee and drinks, servicing the patients and families who find themselves at Union Memorial hospital as an inpatient or at an outpatient appointment. The Hospitality room also has a beautiful sitting area with table, chairs, couches,  seforim and books so visitors can rest and break away for a moment of respite. 

The Hospitality room is located on the 1st floor of the Johnston Professional Building down the ramp on left side (before entering 33rd st. building) across from the Zen Medication Garden. It will be up and running for Rosh Hashanah and will be stocked with Yom Tov and Shabbos meals.  

As a reminder, Bikur Cholim kosher hospitality rooms, all stocked and ready for YomTov, are located in Sinai Hospital, University of Maryland, GBMC and Johns Hopkins Hospital

Wishing the community a Ksiva V’Chasima Tova, a year of health and prosperity.
