We have 3 inpatient teams- the Stroke service, CNS service (general inpatient neurology) and Consult service. More details on each of our services can be found here. A walking bridge connects UMMC to the Baltimore VA, where we also provide consult services and work in neurology clinics.
Across the street from the hospital, we have the Paca Pratt building, where most of our administrative offices are located and where we typically go for noon conference and free lunch! If you’re in need of nourishment at other times, the first floor of the hospital has many food options, including a 24 hour Au Bon Pain and Subway, pizza, sushi, ramen, plus our great cafeteria.
We also keep our Resident Library stocked with coffee and snacks when you need a quick pick-me-up, and periodically throughout the day you might smell freshly baked cookies coming from The Great Cookie located just below our neurology floor!
