Sinai Hospital is pleased to be the first institution to partner with Baltimore city to launch the TreeBaltimore program. Mayor Sheila Dixon and other elected officials were on hand Thursday, December 4, to kick off this program.
As the first business to participate, Sinai Hospital is planting 30 trees around its campus to help increase the neighborhood tree canopy. Baltimore city will also plant 30 trees on Lanier Avenue in the Cylburn community, located directly around Sinai Hospital. In addition to planting the trees, Sinai Hospital has agreed to take care of the initial maintenance of the trees planted by Baltimore city.
TreeBaltimore is a Baltimore city program with a goal of doubling the city’s tree canopy.
“Sinai Hospital is fully committed to being an industry leader in developing eco-friendly practices,” said Neil Meltzer, president and chief operating officer. “We are excited to partner with Baltimore city to help promote the greening of the city.”
