University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center is a 300-bed regional medical center in
The hospital's history dates to 1864, when Catherine Eberhard donated three Baltimore rowhouses to the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia. Six years later, the state government approved the incorporation of Saint Joseph German Hospital. The hospital moved to a larger Baltimore facility in 1872 and then to Towson in 1965.[3]
Prior to this acquisition, St. Joseph's was experiencing money issues and loss of long-time patients in their cardiology department after their former star cardiologist Mark Midei lost his medical license due to multiple lawsuits filed against him over the issue of heart stents.
