We are proceeding apace toward the realization of our new Shore Regional Medical Center!
Planned for construction on Route 50 at Longwoods Road, UM Shore Regional Medical Center will bring a new standard of patient-centered care to the Eastern Shore. We are confident that the six-floor, 325,000-square-foot, 147-bed hospital will support the health care needs of the five-county region served by UM Shore Regional Health.
It will feature expanded services in recognized areas of medical expertise and health care needs:
heart and vascular care, women’s and children’s health, orthopedics, and cancer care, with the most innovative radiation therapy and infusion services. It also will provide easier and safer access for ambulance and helicopter transport, and ample parking for patients, staff and visitors.
In addition to the increased number of beds, the new regional medical center will offer Universal room design that will accommodate all patients who need telemetry, unlike the current Easton hospital which has a limited number of telemetry beds.
The design also incorporates multiple options for future expansion. For example, the building’s Medical Office Building wing includes 60,000 square feet. In the event that space becomes needed for more patient beds, renovations can be made to utilize some of this space. Another option, if needed, would be to add another floor to this wing.
We look forward to keeping you informed about our progress toward realizing this critical new and comprehensive health care facility.
