** About Us **
Calvert Memorial Hospital is a private, not-for-profit, community-owned hospital. Founded in 1919, CMH has been taking care of Southern Maryland families for more than 90 years.
Our hospital is accredited by The Joint Commission, licensed by the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene and certified for Medicare and Medicaid. You can feel confident that you will receive only the highest quality care at CMH.
There are 267 active and consulting physicians representing over 40 different specialties. Over 1,000 dedicated employees help CMH provide the very best for our patients. An additional 176 volunteers help add those "special touches" you will notice during your stay here.
CMH is governed by a community board of directors who volunteer their service to the hospital. They represent our community and take an active role in the operation of our facility. You can find out more about our board members at www.calverthospital.org.
In addition to our main hospital campus, satellite medical office buildings in Dunkirk, Solomons, Twin Beaches and Prince Frederick ensure that quality care is no more than 15 minutes from anywhere in Calvert County.
We are dedicated to the seamless delivery of high quality medical services for each of our patients. This means supplying everything you may need, from acute, critical care to rehabilitation and home health services, all in the same continuum. It also means providing community health education, wellness programs and reaching out to our neighbors through community partnerships.
