Ginsburg attended North Denver High School and graduated from the University of Colorado Medical School in 1928. He worked as medical director, superintendent, and chief surgical resident at Fresno General Hospital in Fresno, California, until he resigned to enter private practice in 1946.

In 1977, Fresno's Sunshine School was renamed the H.M. Ginsburg School for the Orthopedically Handicapped in his honor.
