New Healthcare Facility

FREDERICK HEALTH AND MOUNT ST. MARY'S UNIVERSITY broke ground on a new cutting-edge healthcare facility on Old Emmitsburg Road in the green space across from Public Safety in October. This facility will provide local care to residents of the area, staff and students.

The Mount is partnering with Frederick Health to establish the Emmitsburg Wellness Pavilion that will be the university's new and enhanced student health center. Frederick Health healthcare providers will serve Mount students and residents of Northern Frederick County.

Mount St. Mary’s first entered into a strategic healthcare partnership with Frederick Health in 2018, allowing for expansion and improvement of health and wellness services for students and student-athletes. “We have been very pleased with our partnership, which has become even stronger during the pandemic and was a major factor in our ability to have students living and learning on campus last year,” said Mount St. Mary’s President Timothy E. Trainor, Ph.D.

“As part of our commitment to our students and the local community’s health and well-being, the partnership has evolved to further improve services to our students and help bring needed healthcare services to northern Frederick through this healthcare facility,” Trainor continued.

Focusing on prevention, treatment and the overall wellness of the community, the facility will provide a wide range of healthcare services. The development and construction of this facility will continue to improve access to quality, awardwinning care in the northern parts of Frederick County.

“The construction of the new Emmitsburg facility is yet another way of increasing access to quality care provided by Frederick Health. These kinds of improvements help our neighbors and community grow healthier together,” said Tom Kleinhanzl, president & CEO of Frederick Health.

The facility is expected to open to the public by June 2022. It will be the 23rd facility within Frederick Health’s expanding network.

“Bringing care to residents of the northern part of Frederick County is extremely important. As our county continues to grow, we must ensure that all Frederick County residents can receive quality medical treatment,” added Kleinhanzl.
