Memorial Hospital (Cumberland)

Established as the Western Maryland Hospital in 1888, today's Memorial Hospital moved to its current location on Memorial Avenue in Cumberland, Maryland in 1929 and was renamed in honor of those who gave their life in World War I. Memorial Hospital was once owned and operated by the City of Cumberland and became a private-not-for-profit entity in the early 1980s. Today, Memorial is owned by the Cumberland Memorial Hospital Corporation.

In an effort to effectively manage local healthcare resources, Memorial and Sacred Heart Hospital joined together in April 1996 to form the Western Maryland Health System (WMHS). Working together, the two hospitals have been able to expand the range of healthcare services available to local residents and successfully meet the challenges associated with an ever-changing healthcare industry.
