AAMC is the third largest private sector employer in Anne Arundel County, with a workforce of more than 3,000 full and part-time employees. In addition, there are more than 800 members of the medical staff.
More than 5,500 babies are born each year at AAMC, ranking second in the state for the greatest number of births. The Level IIIb Neonatal Intensive Care Unit is the only one in Anne Arundel County and cares for more than 500 critically ill infants annually. The Clatanoff Pavilion is home to the AAMC Women’s and Children’s Center and offers all private rooms in a peaceful, nurturing environment.
At the AAMC Geaton and JoAnn DeCesarsis Cancer Institute, patients find a world-class environment as well as a warm, highly personalized and caring environment and a compassionate team of caregivers sensitive to the emotional and physical aspects of cancer. Accredited by the American College of Surgeons, the DeCesaris Cancer Institute is committed to providing the latest tools in fighting cancer including robotic surgery, PET/CT, IMRT, and the Novalis and Novalis Tx stereotactic radiosurgery. The hospital has formed a strategic affiliation with Johns Hopkins Medicine to bring together a wide range of experts and clinical programs from both institutions to provide increased access to quality medical care for patients in the region.
More than 1,400 joint replacements are performed each year at the AAMC Joint Center. The program, including “Joint Camp” for recovery, has a world-class reputation as a model Joint Center with physicians from around the world coming to AAMC to learn from the Center’s clinical experts.
The AAMC Brain Center has the most advanced techniques and technology coupled with a multidisciplinary team of neurosurgeons, oncologists, neurologists, and radiation oncologists to treat disease and disorders of the brain.
The AAMC Spine Center is second in the state in the number of total spine surgeries, and its surgeons perform more spinal fusions than anywhere else in Maryland. Neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons often work in tandem to bring the expertise of both specialties to the operating room. For non-surgical treatment, these specialists, along with interventional radiologists and pain specialists provide the latest in technology for pain management.

History Of Anne Arundel Medical Center
** A Short History of AAMC **
At the turn of the century, the growth of Annapolis as an educational and government center spurred the need for better health care. A group of enlightened and energetic townswomen decided Annapolis needed a hospital, and in 1902 "The Annapolis Emergency Hospital" opened in a small cottage at Franklin and Cathedral streets. Nearly a century later, that modest beginning has evolved into Anne Arundel Health System, a regional medical center serving a population of more than 600,000 area residents.
Specialized care for adolescents and adults is provided at Pathways Alcohol and Drug Treatment Center. Five Anne Arundel Diagnostics centers located throughout Anne Arundel County provide diagnoses and treatment. Our Wellness Program offers a wide variety of educational seminars, exercise and stress-reduction classes, and health-related special events.
