History of Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital
The facility formerly known as the Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital was established over a century ago by Moses Sheppard, a wealthy Baltimore merchant. Sheppard envisioned a mental health hospital that prioritized the dignity and comfort of patients as much as their curative treatment. After a lengthy construction period, the facility opened in 1891 as the Sheppard Asylum. The 150-bed campus in Towson, Maryland was groundbreaking for its utilization of the Kirkbride Plan, an architectural style emphasizing natural light and maximum air circulation.
The asylum began expanding five years later with a donation of nearly $2 million from the estate of philanthropist Enoch Pratt. Pratt’s will requested a name change to the facility, and it subsequently became The Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital. That name would remain until the mid-1990’s when the hospital’s board of trustees voted to change it to the Sheppard Pratt Health System. Today the Sheppard Pratt Health System consists of its primary Towson campus and a second inpatient hospital located in Ellicott City. The network also includes several satellite facilities, including outpatient locations in Timonium and Frederick.
