Forty years ago, a new way to imagine health care in Maryland was born, when visionary leaders saw the future potential of what was then a single state-owned and state-funded hospital in downtown Baltimore that was facing financial challenges. Fast forward to today, and the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) is a thriving network reaching urban, suburban and rural communities across the state, providing 25 percent of all hospital-based care in Maryland.

The University of Maryland Medical System’s (UMMS) credit rating has been affirmed as A2 with a stable outlook from Moody’s Investors Service for the System’s upcoming Series 2025 bond issuance. Moody’s rating reflects a recognition of UMMS’ strong financial management, sound strategy and the System’s overall fiscal responsibility.

Modern day health care is complicated. Most diagnoses and treatments come with a long to-do list for each patient — appointments, prescriptions, co-pays, physicals, bloodwork, follow-ups, paperwork.
