Welcome
Regardless of whether you need quick medical attention or support for a chronic illness, having a reliable hospital close to home is invaluable for any community. Meritus Health is the largest health care provider and one of the largest employers in Washington County. Located in Hagerstown, we serve clients across western Maryland, southern Pennsylvania, and the eastern panhandle of West Virginia.
Our hospital is one of the most recognizable buildings in the state, and serves as a comforting reminder to the community that a trusted hospital and medical team are close by and ready to provide the high quality care everyone deserves. One of our most renowned features is our state-of-the-art emergency department and level III trauma center. In rural communities, local hospitals rarely have the advanced technology that can facilitate the life-saving treatment patients need. The critical care unit has been awarded the Silver Beacon of Excellence from the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses for exceptional care.
