2 New Urgent Care Centers Opening In Anne Arundel County

ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MD — Two new urgent care facilities are opening this month in Anne Arundel County.

The University of Maryland Medical System facilities will be located in Pasadena and Glen Burnie. These are the 13th and 14th UM Urgent Care centers across the state.

The Pasadena location at 4125 Mountain Road in Lake Shore Plaza opened Monday. The Glen Burnie center opens July 29 at 7954 Crain Highway.

The urgent care centers will treat 20,000 combined patients annually. Spanning roughly 3,000 square feet each, the sites will employ about 30 people.

“Expanding our services into Anne Arundel County will provide more Marylanders with accessible, integrated care close to home,” Dr. Scott Burger, chief medical officer of UM Urgent Care, said in a Monday press release. “Our urgent care centers are designed to help alleviate some of the pressures on emergency departments and offer an alternative care option for community members. Our goal is to connect more residents across the county to high-quality health care that is convenient and affordable to help improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve.”

The urgent care centers will bridge the gap between primary care and emergency room visits.

They will use in-person and virtual visits to handle:

• Fevers
• Rashes
• Allergies
• Asthma
• Headaches
• Eye injuries
• Sprains
• Broken bones
• X-rays
• EKGs
• On-site lab testing to support preoperative examinations, occupational health needs and sports physicals
• Referrals to primary and specialty care providers

Both locations will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. for adult and pediatric patients over 12 months old.

“Our mission is to create greater access to care for our community,” said Kathy McCollum, president and CEO at the University of Maryland Baltimore Washington Medical Center in Glen Burnie. “We are excited to collaborate with UM Urgent Care to help more patients access primary, urgent and specialty care services, so that they can better manage their care closer to home and decrease their chances of needing emergency care.”
