UM-St. Joseph is now afﬁliated with the University of Maryland Medical Center. For you, that means access to the advanced resources of an academic medical center where education, innovation and research discoveries are aimed at improving Maryland’s health. Physicians at UM-St. Joseph and the University of Maryland collaborate to ﬁnd the best treatments for common and serious health conditions, through clinical research trials or discovering the best ways to prevent, diagnose and treat illness. It’s also a place where physicians and health professionals are being educated and trained to serve you in your neighborhood. I am proud to work with our many dedicated employees, physicians, board members and volunteers who are so passionate about carrying out the health ministry that the Sisters of St. Francis envisioned so long ago. We will leverage the strength that deﬁnes UM-St. Joseph—excellent clinical care and faith-based, compassionate attention to the patient’s mind, body and spirit—with our colleagues at the Medical Center and the School of Medicine to drive this organization forward.
