For Your Files

Read the Baltimore Sun article from December 21, 2005 announcing Mercy Medical Center's plans for this site.

Also, Mercy Medical Center will be presenting its expansion plans to the Maryland Health Care Commission some time this spring. MHCC posts its agendas and minutes on the web, but it appears as though it posts them AFTER the meetings. The next meeting of the Commission is scheduled for February 14 at 1:00pm in conference Room 100 at 4160 Patterson Avenue in Baltimore. Be sure to verify meeting date, time, location, and agenda items with the MHCC directly via email or at 410.764.3460.
