Situated on six acres at the intersection of Route 404 and Deep Shore Road, the 50,000 square foot medical pavilion will be the hub of UM Shore Regional Health’s outpatient services in Caroline County, providing family medicine, laboratory testing, diagnostic and imaging, rehabilitation services and a community health education suite. In addition, the pavilion is expected to house a mental health bridge program, home health care office, and a shared suite for rotating medical specialties. Construction is scheduled for completion at the end of 2018 with official opening in early 2019.
