We ask that when possible, please call us ahead of your arrival at 301-314-8184, especially if you are experiencing any symptoms of COVID-19 such as fever, shortness of breath, and/or cough. This can provide quicker triage, and further limit exposure to others.  

If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, please notify staff at the front entrance and immediately proceed to the registration desk for assistance.

Patients who are seriously ill or injured may be sent to the emergency department of a local hospital.
