CHARLOTTE HALL, Md.– The University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Group opened a new Primary Care office in Charlotte Hall on April 27, 2026, expanding health care access for residents in St. Marys County and surrounding Southern Maryland communities.
The facility is located at 29948 Three Notch Road. Officials announced the opening from La Plata, headquarters for the University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center, a member of the University of Maryland Medical System.
This marks the latest step in efforts to address limited access in parts of the region. Evalyne Bryant-Ward, Vice President of Ambulatory Services, stated, Access to primary care is a critical foundation for long-term health and well-being. This new location in Charlotte Hall allows us to better connect with patients in an area where convenient, local care is needed. Our goal is to ensure that more individuals and families can receive the care they need close to home.
The Charlotte Hall Primary Care office delivers comprehensive services for patients of all ages. Offerings include routine check-ups, preventive care and management of chronic conditions. Experienced providers focus on personalized care and long-term patient relationships.
The expansion reduces travel burdens for local families. It supports improved health outcomes by delivering services closer to home in St. Marys County, which has seen population growth and ongoing demand for convenient medical options. Southern Maryland residents in St. Marys, Charles and Calvert counties often navigate distances to reach specialized care, making this addition a practical response to community needs.
University of Maryland Charles Regional continues a broader network growth strategy. The approach prioritizes high-quality, compassionate care across Charles County and adjacent areas. The new site joins existing locations, strengthening the medical groups presence in the tri-county region where primary care serves as the entry point for overall wellness.
Charlotte Hall, known for its veterans home and mix of residential and commercial development along Three Notch Road, gains a fresh resource for everyday health needs. The corridor sees steady traffic from nearby communities, positioning the office for easy access. Residents can schedule appointments by calling 301-609-5365.
This development aligns with regional health priorities in Southern Maryland. Local health services help manage chronic issues such as diabetes and heart disease that affect many families. By investing in ambulatory sites, UM Charles Regional aims to ease pressure on hospital emergency departments and promote preventive approaches that keep communities healthier overall.
The opening arrives as Southern Maryland continues to evolve with new housing, schools and businesses. Improved primary care supports workforce stability and quality of life for families who choose to live and work in the area. Officials note the importance of such expansions in maintaining accessible services amid population shifts.
Patients seeking care at the new office can expect coordinated support within the larger UMMS network. Referrals to specialists at UM Charles Regional Medical Center in La Plata remain streamlined for those requiring advanced treatment. The addition reinforces the systems commitment to Southern Maryland, where reliable health infrastructure plays a key role in daily life.
