UM Laurel Strategic Planning Work Group

The multi-phase planning process for what is proposed to be the new UM Laurel Medical Center and its surrounding campus began in July 2016 when the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS), Laurel Mayor Craig Moe and other community leaders launched a Strategic Planning Work Group (SPWG) to address the future of healthcare in Laurel. The collaborative process resulted in a set of recommendations regarding the transformation and modernization of UM Laurel Medical Cneter.

We extend our appreciation to the SPWG for their time and commitment.
