We Couldn’t Do It Without You!
Anne Arundel Medical Center has been an integral part of
our local and regional community since 1902. In keeping
with our vision of

, AAMC is a
regional health system with a strongly supportive culture
committed to providing patient- and family-centered care.
We are able to provide this care in part due to the
generosity of our community. We truly appreciate all the
community does to support AAMC and its caregivers.
Here we highlight some of those individuals and groups
that make a difference through their support of AAMC.
