UM BWMC Patients and Visitors

There's only one reason we're here—for our patients.

At UM Baltimore Washington Medical Center, we're constantly developing new procedures, new techniques and new technologies. But in all this activity, we never lose sight of why we are really here — and that is you. You and your family are the center of our focus every day.

Patient Advocacy

At UM BWMC, we have dedicated patient advocates to assist patients and their families during their experiences at our medical center. The patient advocates are available to meet with patients who have concerns, questions, compliments or suggestions regarding their care. They advocate on your behalf and work with other members of the patients' health care team, such as doctors and nurses, to make sure all our patients' needs are met. If you have a patient care issue you would like to discuss with our patient advocates, please call 410-787-4200 or email feedback@umm.edu.

Tobacco Free Medical Campus – No Smoking

To protect our patients, visitors and staff, UM BWMC is a smoke-free campus. Smoking, e-cigarettes and other tobacco products are not allowed anywhere on the medical center’s campus. This includes parking lots, garages and grassy areas. This is important because beds, equipment and gases used in the hospital can easily catch fire, and most patients cannot move quickly to escape smoke or flames. If you smoke, tell your nurse so he or she can help make a plan to keep you smoke-free during your hospital stay. Medications are available to help control nicotine cravings.
