History
Union Memorial Hospital is rooted in a long history of medical and nursing excellence and our commitment to serving the community has been evident from the beginning

The seven women who established the Union Protestant Infirmary UPI as it was first called in 1854 wanted a place where quotthe sick the poor and the infirmquot could receive quality care In 1867 UPI became the first nonuniversity hospital to develop a residency training program and by 1890 the School of Nursing now closed was established

UPI was renamed Union Memorial Hospital in 1920 and three years later the hospital expanded into a new home at Calvert and 33rd Streets in Baltimore Expansions to the campus continued through 1975 and beyond and in 2004 Union Memorial celebrated its 150th anniversary

Union Memorial has evolved from a 20bed to a 301bed hospital with more than 2500 employees and a medical staff of more than 650 physicians As long as there are new challenges in medicine Union Memorial will find new ways to meet those challenges with compassion and quality care
