About UM Shore Regional Health

University of Maryland Shore Regional Health (UM Shore Regional Health) is a regional, nonprofit, medical delivery care network formed on July 1, 2013, through the consolidation of two University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) partner entities, the former Shore Health and the former Chester River Health. As a member of UMMS, UM Shore Regional Health is able to enhance its various clinical programs and facilities and facilitate physician recruitment, bringing world-class medical care to the residents of Maryland's Mid-Shore region.

The UM Shore Regional Health network serves the Mid-Shore region, which includes Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne's and Talbot counties. In addition to its two hospitals — University of Maryland Shore Medical Centers at Chestertown and Easton — UM Shore Regional Health includes two freestanding emergency centers in Cambridge and Queenstown, and UM Shore Medical Pavilions at Cambridge, Chestertown, Denton, Easton and Queenstown, and a broad array of inpatient and outpatient services in locations throughout the five-county region. UM Shore Regional Health also provides urgent care services in Chester, Denton and Easton through UM Urgent Care.

The organization's affiliate, UM Shore Medical Group, employs physicians and advanced practice providers who provide care in office and clinical locations in towns throughout the five-county region, including Cambridge, Centreville, Chestertown, Denton, Easton, Galena and Queenstown.
