As an integrated health system, University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health (UM UCH) invests in the resources necessary to meet the growing needs of our community. Our relationships have developed over many years – from the thousands of team members and volunteers who help make us who we are to the many neighbors and businesses who support what we do. Through philanthropy, we are able to make critically important investments that ensure we remain the highest quality health care provider – right here in Harford County.

We are grateful for all of our supporters who allow our health care system to grow and thrive and are deeply committed to continuing our journey to be the best. Thank you for joining us.

All the best,

Elizabeth Wise, FACHE
President and CEO, UM Upper Chesapeake Health
