History

In 1926, a tornado cut through Charles County leaving many dead and injured. This event motivated the county leadership to establish a hospital to serve county residents. [2] In 1939, 408 patients were served at the hospital. Today, the hospital has the capacity to serve 42,000 patients annually. In 2008, a major renovation and expansion of Civista Medical Center was completed, which doubled the size of the facility, and included new emergency department facilities.

University of Maryland Medical System

In July 2011, Civista Medical Center announced its affiliation as a member hospital of the University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS). [3] On July 1, 2013, the Civista Medical Center began operating under the name University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center in the University of Maryland Medical System, becoming the first expansion of UMMS in the Washington, DC metropolitan area.
