MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center

MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center operates on Rossville Boulevard in eastern Baltimore County, Maryland, serving the Rosedale, Essex, and White Marsh communities as part of MedStar Health, a nonprofit system spanning the Baltimore-Washington region. The hospital dates back over a century and has grown into one of the larger community hospitals in the area, handling substantial emergency volume alongside a range of inpatient specialty services.

Clinical services cover emergency care, medical and surgical inpatient units, intensive care, cardiac care including cardiac surgery, cancer treatment, orthopedics and joint replacement, neurosciences, and maternity with newborn care. The hospital is also home to a regional burn center, which brings a level of specialized acuity uncommon in community hospitals. Nurses practice across critical care, burn, medical-surgical, telemetry, perioperative, emergency, oncology, and labor and delivery units. Graduate medical education gives the facility a teaching component, with residency programs training physicians alongside bedside staff, and it serves as a clinical placement site for area nursing programs. For nurses, MedStar employment allows movement among hospitals across Maryland and the District of Columbia within one system.
