History
Sibley was initially founded as the Lucy Webb Hayes National Training School for Deacons and Nurses in 1890 by The Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church, with the goal of training nurse deaconesses. It was named after Lucy Webb Hayes, who was the first president of the Society and wife of 19th U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes. When the school realized they needed a hospital to serve as both a clinical setting for nurse training and a medical care provider for the area's growing population, Foundry Methodist Church member William J. Sibley donated $10,000 for its construction. The original hospital on North Capital and Pearce Streets, NW, was opened in March 1895, and steadily grew in size and services over the next five decades. A new, modern facility was opened on May 30, 1961 on the hospital's current site on Loughboro Road, N.W.

The hospital has undergone multiple modernization projects since moving to its new location. In 1999, the Master Facility Plan added 40,000 square feet of new space and renovated 80,000 square feet of existing space. Other recent buildings include the Sibley Renaissance building (built in 2000), which houses the Rehabilitation Center; Grand Oaks, an assisted living residence; and the Cancer Center (built in 2002).
