  • What is ExpressCare?
    
  In our continuing efforts to enhance our relationship and maximize the many community benefits of our partnership with the University of Maryland Medical System, Upper Chesapeake Health has added the University of Maryland ExpressCare program to its emergency care services. A dedicated satellite program for the area is now established at Upper Chesapeake Medical Center but will also support Harford Memorial Hospital in Havre de Grace to provide safe and timely inter-hospital transfers. The new ambulance will be fully equipped with state-of-the-art critical care transport technology and will proudly display both the University of Maryland ExpressCare and Upper Chesapeake Health logos. The satellite will operate 7 days a week, 12 hours per day (11 am – 11 pm) and will focus on the transfer of the higher acuity patients requiring Specialty Care level of transport. A highly qualified ExpressCare staff of Critical Care Transport Nurses, Paramedics and EMTS has been recruited specifically for this venture. The service will transfer to the University of Maryland Medical Center or any other acute care hospital as requested by Upper Chesapeake Health medical staff.
