Welcome to the ﬁrst issue of Maryland’s Health Matters under Maryland General Hospital’s new name—University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC) Midtown Campus! UMMC has extended its services and clinical programs all the way to Linden Avenue. Now you can receive universitybased care at two locations: UMMC or UMMC Midtown Campus. With the same mission for patient care, together, we’ve committed to improving the health and well-being of Marylanders. Over the next year, we’ll be expanding various programs from UMMC to UMMC Midtown Campus and have been preparing for this change for some time. Currently, we have many programs run by University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) faculty, such as emergency medicine, intensive care, internal medicine, the Maryland Vascular Center, the Maryland Wound Healing Center and ophthalmology. UMSOM faculty will practice alongside our talented and dedicated private physicians to provide high-quality, compassionate patient care. Thank you for allowing Maryland General Hospital to care for you and your families for more than 130 years. We hope that you will join us as we embark on this new journey as University of Maryland Medical Center Midtown Campus.
