MedStar Union Memorial Hospital

What MedStar Union Memorial Hospital does

MedStar Union Memorial Hospital is a regional specialty and teaching hospital located in northeast Baltimore City, Maryland, operating as a subsidiary of MedStar Health, a non-profit healthcare system. Founded in the mid-19th century and serving the community for over 160 years, the hospital is structured around three flagship specialty assets: the Curtis National Hand Center (designated by the Maryland Institute of Emergency Medical Systems as the state's official Hand and Upper Extremity Trauma Center), the MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute, and the MedStar Orthopaedic Institute (encompassing dedicated hip/knee, spine, foot/ankle, and sports medicine programs). It also developed the first hospital-based sports medicine program in the United States, holds Primary Stroke Center designation, and operates a Joint Commission-certified palliative care program. The hospital achieved Magnet recognition from the ANCC in 2024 and maintains a teaching hospital affiliation with Georgetown University for residencies and fellowships.

The hospital's service portfolio spans emergency care, primary care, diabetes and endocrinology, outpatient behavioral health, general surgery, and palliative care, distributed through direct hospital-based delivery at 201 E. University Pkwy., a Find a Doctor physician directory, telehealth via MedStar eVisit, and mobile applications on iOS and Android. Revenue is generated through fee-for-service healthcare delivery reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance, and patient payments, with distribution partnerships through MedStar Family Choice (a Medicaid managed care plan). Patient acquisition is sales-led, relying on physician referrals, emergency department intake, community outreach, and statewide referral flow for specialized hand trauma cases. The hospital serves Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and surrounding Maryland regions, and operates as a non-profit entity with no publicly traded equity or disclosed financial metrics.
