A System of Care Designed for You
At GBMC HealthCare, we are committed to delivering the care we would want for our own loved ones. As a comprehensive system of care, GBMC HealthCare unites three integrated work systems: GBMC (Greater Baltimore Medical Center), GBMC Health Partners, and Gilchrist, to meet the diverse needs of patients and families across the Baltimore region.
GBMC: Excellence in Action
Located on a picturesque suburban campus in Towson, Maryland, GBMC is a 275-bed* medical facility. Each year, GBMC handles more than 23,000 admissions and over 50,000 emergency department visits, combining community-focused care with the sophistication of university-level medicine.
In addition to our state-of-the-art hospital, GBMC’s campus features four medical office buildings — the Sandra R. Berman Pavilion, Physicians Pavilion East, Physicians Pavilion West, and the William E. Kahlert Physicians Pavilion North — making advanced medical care accessible and convenient.
GBMC Health Partners: Comprehensive, Coordinated, and Connected
GBMC Health Partners is our collective of more than 300 primary care providers, specialists, advanced practice clinicians, and hundreds of support staff. Together, this dedicated team delivers coordinated, patient-centered care at convenient locations across the area, including Baltimore City, Hunt Manor, Hunt Valley, Owings Mills, Padonia, Jarrettsville, and Texas Station.
We leverage technology, including a unified electronic health record system, to empower patients with seamless access to their medical information, appointment scheduling, and prescription management. Extended and weekend hours reflect our commitment to providing care when and where it’s needed most.

GBMC Foundation: Transforming Lives Through Philanthropy
The GBMC Foundation drives innovation and enhances care through charitable giving. Since its founding in 1987, the Foundation has raised over $250 million to support new facilities, advanced medical technology, and specialty programs. Contributions from grateful patients and community members ensure that GBMC remains at the forefront of healthcare for generations to come.
From cash gifts and event sponsorships to legacy planning options like charitable trusts, every donation directly impacts the lives of patients and families.
GBMC HealthCare is more than a hospital system — we are your partner in health, providing a continuum of care that supports wellness, recovery, and compassionate end-of-life services. Together, GBMC, GBMC Health Partners, and Gilchrist exemplify what it means to deliver care at birth, at the end of life, and every point along the way.
