For Physicians
In Southern Maryland, a career in health care comes with safe streets, solid schools and a coastal lifestyle. Smart medicine isn't all we've got going for us. St. Mary's County — surrounded by the Patuxent and Potomac rivers and the Chesapeake Bay — was voted the best mid-Atlantic small town region in the nation. Just an hour from Washington, D.C., and close to Baltimore, Annapolis, Maryland, and Richmond, Virginia, St. Mary's is a recreational paradise. In addition to water pastimes, land lovers enjoy local museums, walking tours, plantations and lighthouses. There is a rich historic heritage and a quality educational system.
Fishing, boating, sailing and crabbing on the sparkling waters of the Chesapeake Bay are all perks of living in St. Mary's County. Steaming Maryland blue crabs and roasting oysters are all traditions in Southern Maryland. Hiking, biking and strolling along natural waterways is a way of life here.
MedStar St. Mary's Hospital is an award-winning 96-bed acute care hospital with a strong commitment to investing in resources, equipment and technology that benefit our Medical Staff, and in turn, our community. Most importantly, our facility has an ongoing pledge to physician-driven medicine.
