There are stories about innovative health services and programs delivered by our doctors, nurses and other health care heroes whose goal is always better health for you and your family. There are also stories about heroes outside the clinical setting, whose generous donation of their ideas, their ﬁnancial resources and their time helps UM Shore Regional Health enhance its facilities and services. As time goes by, we will make every effort to keep you apprised of our progress as we continue to build and diversify the programs and services of UM Shore Regional Health.
