Upper Chesapeake Medical Center - Features

Trust: We will strive to be good citizens of the communities we serve and build trust and confidence in our ability to anticipate and respond to community and patient needs.

The main entrance to the hospital is located on Upper Chesapeake Drive off MacPhail Road. The circular driveway at the front entrance is for dropping off or picking up patients. There is ample parking for visitors including designated handicapped parking. There is no charge for parking in designated surface parking lots. The parking garage located across from the Ambulatory Care Center entrance has fees, see below. Please be sure to lock your car. If something happens that causes you to need assistance with your vehicle, please call the Security Department at 443-643-2444.

Our diverse group of volunteers share their skills and expertise in over 30 different hospital departments by assisting team members, patients, and visitors. Whether they are in the Gift Shops, Resource Libraries, Surgical Waiting Areas, Information Desks, or Patient Floors, our volunteers serve with the common vision that they can make a difference in the health of our community.

Now over 800 strong, our volunteers give their time and expertise to meet the needs of our patients.
