The hospital will move its inpatient services to other hospitals in the Baltimore-based University of Maryland Medical System and will begin providing only outpatient programs. University Specialty Hospital will move its traumatic brain injury program to Kernan Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Hospital and its ventilator-dependent patients to Maryland General Hospital.
Mary Lynn Carver, a UMMS spokeswoman, said these changes are due in part to reduced demand for the specialty hospital’s inpatient services, which can be provided at other facilities, according to the report.
The hospital’s 350 employees will be able to apply for open positions within UMMS.
