University of Maryland Urgent Care Opening Two New Locations in Anne Arundel County

Pasadena and Glen Burnie Sites Will Provide Urgent Care for Over 20,000 Patients Annually

GLEN BURNIE, Md. (July 15, 2024) – The University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) announces two new University of Maryland Urgent Care centers in Anne Arundel County.

UM Urgent Care in Pasadena, located at 4125 Mountain Road in the Lake Shore Plaza, opened today, July 15th. The new space offers over 3,000 square feet of clinical offices and examination rooms. UM Urgent Care in Glen Burnie will occupy close to 3,000 square feet at 7954 Crain Highway and is scheduled to open on Monday, July 29th. Both centers will operate seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. for adult and pediatric patients over 12 months of age.

The opening of UM Urgent Care's Pasadena and Glen Burnie locations will complement existing UMMS primary and specialty care services in the region and create greater access to care for local residents. Together, the two sites will employ about 30 people and provide care to more than 20,000 patients annually.

"Expanding our services into Anne Arundel County will provide more Marylanders with accessible, integrated care close to home," said Scott Burger, DO, Chief Medical Officer of UM Urgent Care. "Our urgent care centers are designed to help alleviate some of the pressures on emergency departments and offer an alternative care option for community members. Our goal is to connect more residents across the county to high-quality health care that is convenient and affordable to help improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve."

As a part of UMMS, UM Urgent Care offers comprehensive medical services that bridge the gap between primary care and emergency room visits. Health care providers see patients in-person and virtually for a variety of ailments including fevers, rashes, allergies and asthma, headaches, eye injuries, sprains and broken bones for a fraction of the cost of an emergency room visit. The centers also provide X-ray, EKG and onsite lab testing to support preoperative examinations, as well as occupational health needs and sports physicals. When needed, UM Urgent Care's dedicated clinicians can support patients with referrals to primary and specialty care providers, including those offered through UMMS and its Glen Burnie hospital, the University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center (UM BWMC).

"Our mission is to create greater access to care for our community," said Kathy McCollum, President and Chief Executive Officer at UM BWMC. "We are excited to collaborate with UM Urgent Care to help more patients access primary, urgent and specialty care services, so that they can better manage their care closer to home and decrease their chances of needing emergency care."

The Pasadena and Glen Burnie locations mark the 13th and 14 urgent care centers that UM Urgent Care operates across the state.
