Update on new UM/Laurel Regional Hospital
April 2018

As you know, we've worked closely with Mayor Moe and Councilwoman Lehman to save Laurel Regional Hospital -- and modernize it to provide services to meet our community needs. 

First, we convinced the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) to take it over from Dimensions. 

Second, we won $100 million in State funds to improve the hospital facilities in Laurel, Bowie, and elsewhere in the county. 

Third, we worked with UMMS and Laurel community leaders to design a new UM/Laurel Medical Center, which will replace the 40 year old hospital building. UMMS is applying for State approval to move forward with the first new building; under the law we championed, it will hold a community meeting to answer your questions and get your input. We'll make sure you're invited. 

Here are the highlights of the new UM/Laurel Medical Center.
