University of Maryland Shore Medical Pavilion at Easton Opens its Doors

University of Maryland Shore Regional Health’s newest medical office building – University of Maryland Shore Medical Pavilion at Easton – opened its doors to patients on May 12, offering residents of the five-county region served by the organization greater access to multiple health care specialties and services.  

The Pavilion, located at 490 Cadmus Lane in Easton, provides more than 24,000 square feet of newly renovated space for medical specialists including Laurie Porter, DO, and Timothy Schneider, MD – Ear, Nose and Throat; Walid Kamsheh, MD and Trisha Lemay, CRNP – Neurology and Sleep Medicine; Khalid Kurtom, MD, FAANS, FACS – Neurosurgery; Duane Cespedes, MD, John Foley, MD, John Knud-Hansen, MD, and Christopher Runz, DO – Urology; Duane Cespedes, MD – Continence and Pelvic Health; and Dale Jafari, CRNP – Women’s Care. Plans are underway for Family Practice to take up residence in the new space. 

Additional physicians will move to the Pavilion after the second phase of the project is completed, totaling another 50,000 square feet, which is anticipated within the next 12 to 18 months. Those medical specialties will include pediatrics, cardiology, surgical care, wound care and pulmonary care.   
   
“University of Maryland Shore Regional Health is very excited about the completion of this project and the opportunity to have several of our medical specialists in one location,” comments William Huffner, MD, MBA, FACEP, FACHE, chief medical officer and senior vice president of Medical Affairs at UM Shore Regional Health.  “The new Pavilion better enables the patients we serve to access health care services in one centralized location.”
