To most people “orthopaedic” means “relating to bone.” And while that often means setting a broken bone, there are many more complex surgeries performed at The Orthopaedic Institute at St. Joseph Medical Center—drawing patients from across the state and outside of Maryland to the expert care delivered by our physicians, nurses and therapists. Both Doug Croker and Sue McMurtray were facing daunting challenges when they arrived at St. Joseph. more +

Her words are poignant when talking about her bequest: “St. Joseph has given me hope, help and love every time I’ve needed it. This is the least I can do.” more + 
 Faith and Mrs. Decker

Philanthropy is oftentimes a gesture with great meaning behind it. In the case of Virginia Decker, whose husband Alonzo's family founded the Baltimore-based Black&Decker, a recent gift of $500,000 presented to St. Joseph Medical Center's neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) was a momentous and meaningful gesture intended for the tiniest, most fragile patients. Mrs. Decker's gift was part of a $4 million renovation and expansion plan. The medical center was most honored to name the new NICU The Mrs. Alonzo G. Decker Jr. Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. more +
