EASTON, MD
St. Mark’s United Methodist Church in Easton, Maryland has committed $1 million dollars to University of Maryland Shore Regional Health (UM SRH) to advance healthcare on the mid-shore through construction of the new UM Shore Regional Medical Center.
“Our church has been blessed, and in turn we want to bless our community, said Reverend Meredith West, Pastor. “The new hospital will have a tremendous impact on the health and well-being of our community. I can’t think of a better way to help.”
The mission of St. Mark’s United Methodist Church ties closely with service and caring for humanity’s most basic needs, including health care. “Our vision is to inspire people of all ages through love and service,” said West. This gift aligns perfectly with loving and serving our community.”
Construction of the new medical center, located at 10000 Longwoods Road in Easton, Maryland, will begin later this month.
“We are incredibly excited and grateful for what this new hospital means for residents of the region,” said Ken Kozel, UM SRH President and CEO. “We are deeply grateful to the St. Mark’s community of parishioners for this transformative gift.”
“This inspirational gift isn’t merely financial; it’s a thoughtful alignment of their mission, with UM Shore Health’s vision for the future and reflection of values that shape a better community,” said Rebecca Bair, Vice President of Philanthropy, UM Shore Regional Health. “It is an investment in our community, and holds immense significance that will make a lasting difference.”
