Our History

When you bring your future to an organization, you want to know that you will be building your career on the most solid of foundations. You look for an employer with a history of growth, performance and vision that is time tested and proven. This is exactly what we offer…what we have been offering for over 100 years.

How it all Started
In the late 1890’s as Emma Smith began her personal campaign to build a hospital in her hometown, she solicited funds with this simple statement of her dream: to provide “... a place that would care for the sick, comfort the injured, and provide peace of mind for the citizens we serve.” Upon these principled words, Frederick City Hospital opened its doors in 1902.

Today and into Tomorrow
As we enter our second century of service and care for the community through a new state-of-the-art facility, we will remain true to our values, our mission, and our pledge to perform as a compassionate and forward-thinking employer of choice.
