State to Have Most Modern TB Hospital in Country
Governor Lane broke ground for an eight story tuberculosis hospital at Mt Wilson Sanitorium in Pikesville. The $3 million facility will be the nerve center of Maryland’s TB system with capacity for 1300 patients and future expansion. It will host diagnostic, surgical, research and treatment functions and may later convert to a chronic disease hospital. The project, funded from excess sales tax revenues, reflects a broader expansion of the sanatorium system alongside mental hospital reforms.
