History

CalvertHealth was originally located along Main Street in Prince Frederick until the 1950s, when it moved to a single-story facility on 100 Hospital Road. In 1978, the hospital moved to its current five-story building adjacent to the old hospital building. CalvertHealth was formerly known as Calvert Memorial Hospital. On September 14, 2017, CalvertHealth broke ground for a $51 million expansion to convert into all private rooms, and it changed its name and logo to CalvertHealth Medical Center.
