MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center is a 214-bed community hospital that performs in the top decile across key quality measures including mortality, readmissions, C. difficile prevention, central line-associated bloodstream infections and catheter-associated urinary tract infections. The hospital was ranked No. 1 in Maryland for patient safety by the Lown Institute in 2025, earning “A” grades in social responsibility, patient outcomes, clinical outcomes, community benefit and cost efficiency. In 2024, MedStar Southern Maryland earned recognition from U.S. News & World Report as a “Best Regional Hospital for Equitable Access” and received Healthgrades’ “America’s 100 Best Hospitals for Coronary Intervention Award,” a distinction it has maintained across multiple consecutive years. As the region’s C-PORT center, the hospital provides advanced elective cardiac catheterization and coronary intervention procedures close to home for residents who would otherwise need to travel. The Prince George’s County Healthy Start program, funded through a Health Resources and Services Administration grant and operated in partnership with the hospital, has served more than 550 participants in its first three years, supporting mothers before, during and after pregnancy. The hospital has also completed several modernization projects including a renovated catheterization and electrophysiology lab, a refreshed pre-op and post-anesthesia care unit, and a new outdoor respite solarium courtyard for patients, visitors and associates.
