History: We've Been Here Since 1881

Maryland General is a university-affiliated community hospital that serves as the cornerstone of Maryland General Health Systems, a comprehensive healthcare network caring for more than 110,000 patients every year.

Maryland General Hospital was founded by a group of local doctors as a university-affiliated teaching hospital in 1881. In 1911, the Baltimore Medical College, as Maryland General Hospital was then known, affiliated with the University of Maryland School of Medicine and began its long tradition of medical training and patient care that continues today.

Maryland General affiliated again in 1965 with the Baltimore Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital to become one of the premier teaching hospitals for medical students training in those specialties.

In January 1999, Maryland General Hospital affiliated with the University of Maryland Medical System to form one of the largest health systems in the Baltimore metropolitan area. This affiliation brought together the world-class research, specialized medical care and physician education of the University of Maryland Medical System with the excellent community-based physicians and services of Maryland General Health Systems.
