Together, Let's Support Our Neighborhood Hospital


Howard County Medical Center


Howard County’s only emergency room is expanding its behavioral health unit to accommodate the increased demand for mental health care since the pandemic. “We’re seeing more patients than ever before,” says Andrew Angelino, M.D., director of psychiatry at Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center (JHHCMC). “The behavioral health unit is routinely over capacity, forcing patients seeking mental health care to wait in JHHCMC’s main emergency room for treatment. This expansion will free up space in the emergency room and is an opportunity for us to benefit all patients coming to our emergency department.” 

To meet the growing need, construction is underway at JHHCMC to quadruple the capacity of its behavioral health unit from six to 24 beds. Slated to open in late 2024, the renovations will increase the size of the facility from 1,500 to 7,000 square feet.

To support the building of the Behavioral Health Unit, the Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center Foundation has launched a campaign called “Together: Let’s Support our Neighborhood Hospital” to raise $3 million.

 We can do it together.
