Maryland Hospital to Close by Spring 2024

Havre de Grace, Md.-based Harford Memorial Hospital, part of the University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health, is expected to close in late 2023 or early 2024, per Becker’s.

The hospital closure is dependent on the opening of a new bed tower at the health system’s Bel Air campus. Once the tower opens, Harford Memorial will begin to be decommissioned — a process that will take up to four months, according to the report.

Harford Memorial has transferred many of its outpatient services to Aberdeen (Md.) Health and Wellness Center, which opened in November 2021, according to the report. 

The health system is also building a medical center in Aberdeen and an ASC in Bel Air.
