Upper Chesapeake Medical Center and Campus opened its doors in 2000. Located in the heart of Bel Air in Harford County, Maryland, the state-of-the-art medical center provides the latest advances in medical technology in a healing and compassionate environment.

This premier health care facility incorporates several trends that reflect how health care is changing, including reorientation towards outpatient care, more acutely ill patients in the hospital and flexibility for growth and change to meet our community's future health care needs. Located on the medical campus is the Upper Chesapeake Medical Center with 143 acute care beds. Adjacent to the medical center is the Ambulatory Care Center of Harford County, containing physician offices, outpatient imaging and laboratory procedures, outpatient pre-assessment testing and assessment, Upper Chesapeake Cardiovascular Institute, the Upper Chesapeake Surgical Pavilion, and the administrative offices of UCH. Also located next to the medical center, is a pre-existing medical office building with physician offices and other healthcare related services.

The Medical Center's patient rooms reflect a patient and family-centered model of care, creating an atmosphere in which the patient and family or support person can be together at all times in a comfortable, relaxed and private setting. The rooms feature a home-like decor and were designed to enhance the healing process and make the needs of the patient and family the main priority. For the convenience and comfort of our patients, we offer bedside registration and charting. All the patient rooms have been designed with flexibility in mind allowing general medical/surgical rooms to convert to a more intensive care setting based on the changing needs of the patient.

Upper Chesapeake Medical Center is an acute care, non-profit facility offering a full complement of medical, diagnostic and emergency care services. The hospital is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).
