It is indeed my distinct privilege and pleasure to introduce you to Western Maryland Hospital Center (WMHC), located at 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue in Hagerstown, Maryland. For 50 years we have served the citizens of Maryland by helping them make life worth living. Our mission states "We give Marylanders a second chance for quality of life through exceptional rehabilitation and healthcare services in our Healing Environment." We strive to return patients to their home whenever possible.

Many serious illnesses, accidents and injuries result in the patient needing our care. As a chronic disease specialty hospital we are capable of managing patients requiring life support systems such as ventilator care and renal dialysis. Our interdisciplinary team of professionals develops a plan of care to address the patient’s individual needs and includes attention to mind, body and spirit. This rehabilitation process and team effort has resulted in remarkable recoveries from devastating accidents and illness.

Western Maryland Hospital Center also operates a skilled nursing facility licensed as a Comprehensive Care Program. The program addresses the needs for those requiring short term rehabilitation as well as long term care placement when the patient continues to require skilled care and can not go home.

Western Maryland Hospital Center is accredited by Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) for Hospitals, Long-term Care, Renal Dialysis and Laboratory. We are also proud of our very successful Office of Healthcare Quality (OHCQ) annual survey.

If we can be of service to you or your loved one, please do not hesitate to call. I suggest you come and visit with us and see if we may be right for you. If I can be of assistance to you please call me at 301.745.4139.
