In 2014, the magazine U.S. News & World Report ranked the hospital 10th in Maryland, and 9th in the Baltimore metropolitan area. For cardiology, cardiac surgery, and orthopedic surgery, it is ranked among the top 50 hospitals in the U.S..
Jazz leader Chick Webb worked in the hospital as a youngster, and Mickey Mantle received treatment at the hospital. In 1939, the gangster Al Capone spent time at the hospital to cure his paresis caused by syphilis, after his release from Alcatraz, after which he donated two cherry trees to the hospital. One tree was later cut down to allow the construction of a new wing of the hospital.
