U.Md. Medical System breaks ground on new hospital
WASHINGTON — University of Maryland Medical System and Prince George’s County officials were on hand for the groundbreaking Thursday of the new University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center.
The $543 million medical center is expected to open in 2021, and will replace the University of Maryland Prince George’s Hospital Center, in Cheverly.
The 26-acre site, next to the Arena Drive exit off Interstate 495 in Upper Marlboro, will include a 600,000-square-foot facility with an 11-story main patient care building, 205 private inpatient rooms and eight operating rooms.
Plans also call for two rooftop helipads, a 20-bed short-stay treatment area, a 45-bay emergency department and a 15-bed specialty pediatric hospital that will be operated by Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital, which is co-owned by the University of Maryland Medical System and Johns Hopkins Medicine.
In September, the University of Maryland Medical System affiliated with Dimensions Healthcare System, creating University of Maryland Capital Region Health.
