MedStar Health is a $3.1 billion non-profit healthcare organization and a community-based network of seven hospitals and other healthcare services in the Baltimore/ Washington region. As the area's largest health system, it is one of its largest employers, with more than 25,000 employees and 5,000 affiliated physicians, all of whom support MedStar Health's patient-first philosophy that combines care, compassion and clinical excellence with an emphasis on customer service. We prove this with more than 158,000 inpatient admissions and more than one and a half million outpatient visits each year.

MedStar Health employees proudly serve a half-million patients annually, and our employee satisfaction exceeds the national average for healthcare companies by five percent, which translates into a workforce dedicated to providing the highest quality care to the communities we serve. We contribute approximately $91 million in payroll tax to the District of Columbia, Maryland and Virginia each year, and believe in re-investing in our employees through professional development programs, such as the Executive Development Institute and the John L. Green Generation of Leadership Scholarship Program. Additionally, MedStar Health provides more than $232 million in charity care and community benefit on an annual basis.

MedStar Health's areas of clinical excellence include cardiology, cardiac surgery, oncology services, rehabilitation, neurosciences, orthopedic surgery, women's services, and emergency and trauma services. We have comprehensive services including primary, urgent and subacute care, medical education and research. Our other health-related services include assisted living, home health and long-term care. We also operate nursing homes, senior housing, adult day care, rehabilitation and ambulatory centers, as well as maintain MedStar Physician Partners, a comprehensive physician network in the Baltimore/Washington area.
