Shore Health System

Shore Health System was formed in 1996 through the affiliation of the Memorial Hospital at Easton, located in Talbot County, and Dorchester General Hospital, located in the city of Cambridge in Dorchester County. Both hospitals have served their communities for over 100 years. Today, Shore Health System is a regional, not-for-profit network of inpatient and outpatient services with facilities in Talbot, Dorchester, Caroline and Queen Anne's counties. In 2006, Shore Health System merged with the University of Maryland Medical System to expand clinical programs and facilities, and to facilitate physician recruitment. Through partnerships with the University of Maryland Medical Center and the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Shore Health System offers world class medical care to residents of Maryland's Mid-Shore and the Delmarva Peninsula. Shore Health System includes the Queen Anne's Emergency Center, Maryland's only freestanding emergency center in a rural area.
