University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center

University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center is a not-for-profit community hospital located in the heart of Towson, Md., just a few miles north of Baltimore City. Founded in 1864 by the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia, UM St. Joseph offers a wide range of superb clinical programs and centers of excellence, including the Cancer, Heart, Orthopaedic and Spine Institutes, Women and Children's services and Emergency Medicine. The medical center's committed focus on zero patient harm, clinical excellence and perfect patient experiences spurred the creation of the hospital's unique approach to care, The UM St. Joseph Value Delivery System, and has consistently earned UM St. Joseph regional and national recognition for patient care and safety, including its ranking as the #1 community hospital in Maryland by U.S. News & World Report. Our Value Delivery System is our commitment to work together in a way that respects, empowers and engages all colleagues, protects patients and staff and enables us to deliver consistently exceptional care, with every patient, with every touch. UM St. Joseph is a 218-bed, Catholic acute care hospital and a proud member of the 13-hospital University of Maryland Medical System, dedicated to providing loving service and compassionate, leading-edge care to all.
