MedStar Health

MedStar Health operates as a comprehensive not-for-profit regional healthcare system, delivering a full spectrum of clinical services through ten hospitals and over 300 care locations across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. It integrates academic medicine, extensive research, and clinical innovation, supported by graduate medical education programs and a dedicated research institute, to continuously advance patient care.

MedStar Health was established in June 1998 through the strategic consolidation of various existing healthcare entities, forming an integrated delivery network for the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area. This unification sought to combine diverse medical services, addressing regional health needs and fostering broad medical advancement across the newly formed system.

The system primarily serves patients and their families throughout Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., providing accessible and empathetic care. MedStar Health's mission centers on serving patients, their caregivers, and communities. Its vision is to be the trusted leader in advancing health, upholding a patient-first philosophy with core values of service, integrity, and teamwork for a healthier future.
