Marino, MA Designed by McMurry/TMG, LLC 2 MARYLAND’S HEALTH MATTERS Ah, spring. A very exciting season—a time of birth and rebirth. It is Mother Nature’s way of granting us new beginnings and more sunlight as the days lengthen. At Maryland General Hospital, we, too, are embarking on a new day. Over the course of the last several months, we have grown to offer services that allow us to better serve our community. We now offer postacute specialty services for the chronically ill, pediatric services for children up to age 21, a sleep disorders center and a clinic for those living with Lou Gehrig’s disease. But the most exciting change by far is that we are changing our name and expanding the breadth of services we offer. Although you will have to wait until early summer to see what our new name will be, I can tell you that this rebranding effort will further leverage Maryland General Hospital’s relationship with the University of Maryland Medical Center and the University of Maryland School of Medicine. Currently, we receive great beneﬁt to being aligned with the University of Maryland Medical Center and having access to academic medical center clinical expertise when managing complex patient cases, and it is our goal to maximize those beneﬁts to provide even higher quality care and clinical programs than we do now. Stay tuned! Sylvia Smith Johnson President & CEO STAY CONNECTED WITH MARYLAND GENERAL HOSPITAL AT MARYLANDGENERAL.ORG.
