D E PA R T M E N TS 3 The past several months have given us much to celebrate and anticipate as we approach our 150th anniversary in 2014. Our excellence in cancer care, cardiology, heart surgery, diabetes, endocrinology, gastroenterology, geriatrics, neurology, neurosurgery, orthopaedics and pulmonology earned us recognition from U.S.News & World Report in its 2013 ranking of American hospitals. Since joining University of Maryland Medical System, we have doubled the number of community physicians appointed to our medical staff and hired many new physicians who are practicing cardiology, internal medicine, Ob-Gyn, pediatrics and neonatology at UM St. Joseph Medical Center. We are moving forward with exciting plans to grow our clinical programs and bring the expertise of University of Maryland Medical Center close to home, with the same tradition of caring that you have come to trust for almost 150 years. Amid this progress, we are committed to preserving the legacy of our founders, the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia. Providing loving service and compassionate care rooted in the Catholic tradition and honoring all faiths, beliefs and traditions is a hallmark of UM St. Joseph Medical Center. We are honored to serve you, our patients and community, in the years to come.
