UM Shore Regional Health is still pouring concrete on Longwoods Road, not opening a hospital. Ground broke in October 2024. Occupancy remains summer 2028. That is a two-year wait, not a ribbon-cutting.

What is on the site is a replacement hospital at 10000 Longwoods Road, meant to take over from UM Shore Medical Center at Easton. The system still publishes $664 million as the estimated cost. How that figure moved — a December 2025 change request that added about $125 million to the $539.6 million the Maryland Health Care Commission approved in 2024 — is a separate cost sheet. Patients who need a ward this year should use the existing Easton campus; that, too, is a separate note.

This file is the construction clock. Nothing in the public record shows the 2028 date has slipped. Until it does, Longwoods is a jobsite, not a hospital. This is a dated health sheet, not a diagnosis.
