History of UM Shore Regional Health
For the past decade, UM Shore Regional Health has been working to create a unified, comprehensive health care delivery model for the Eastern Shore. We’ve brought the newest medical advances and discoveries, leading researchers and clinicians, and the most modern facilities and medical equipment together. All to create a system as distinctive as the communities it serves. One that enables area residents to find diagnoses, treatment, and care here at home.
Shore Health System became affiliated with University of Maryland Medical System in 2006 and merged with Chester River Health System in 2013. Since that time, UM Shore Regional Health has advanced a mission-critical focus to innovative practice, delivering the best patient care.
With investments in excess of $150 million over the past decade, Shore Regional Health has created new and more accessible facilities in several counties in the region and promoted major health care technology advances and equipment upgrades, enabling residents to access a wide array of new health services close to home.
