Go behind the scenes of Sinai Hospital's physical plant

Some of the most popular health care blogs I've seen are written by health care professionals who have found success by offering to "pull the curtain back" for an "insider's" look at modern medicine. They are written by primary care physicians, nurses and even CEOs of major hospitals and institutions. Often they make good on their promise, providing valuable insight into the inner workings - and turmoil - that is the American health care system.

Here at LifeBridge Health, we recently added a behind-the-scenes feature to our monthly employee newsletter, the Bridge. For the first installment, I asked my valued co-worker, Ryan Nawrocki, to write an article on the immense heating and air conditioning systems that keep Sinai Hospital warm in our frigid Baltimore winters and cool when summer weather (finally) arrives. Ryan's article appeared in the February newsletter, which you can see each month on our Facebook page here (you don't need to be a Facebook account to read it).

Partnering with our Medical Photography & Media Design department, Ryan shot a companion video for the story. Click on the video below to take a tour of Sinai's physical plant.

Stay tuned for future stories and videos on the new helipad at Sinai and the Centrile Sterile departments at Sinai and Northwest Hospital. Central Sterile is responsible for cleaning and sterilizing operating room equipment and tools.
