Shore Regional Medical Center.The new facility, which will replace the existing hospital in downtown Easton, will house 147 licensed beds and provide emergency, behavioral health, and cardiology services. Its location will offer easier access for ambulance and helicopter transport, along with ample parking for patients, staff, and visitors.
“We are all here because we each share a simple but powerful belief: Everyone deserves access to health care. This isn’t about politics – this isn’t about ideology – this is about basic, foundational principles of a functioning society,” said Gov. Moore. “We will not stop until that future is a reality for the 456,000 Marylanders who call the Shore home – and the millions more who live all across our state. Not just because we ‘say so,’ but because we are proving what it means to make it so. Together, we will leave no one behind.”
The estimated $540 million project will be funded through bonds, philanthropy, federal grants, and $100 million in state funds under the Governor’s Capital Budget through FY2028. The new facility is expected to open by the end of summer 2028.
“The groundbreaking marks a project that has been years in the making,” said Talbot County Council President Chuck Callahan. “The new facility will expand access to critical healthcare services, and improve the well-being of communities across Maryland’s Eastern Shore. We are grateful for Governor Moore’s unwavering support for this project.”
