President’s Message

Welcome to our website and to Garrett County Memorial Hospital (GCMH). My name is Donald P. Battista, the Hospital's President & CEO.

Our website will tell you about your community hospital and help you to learn about the variety of hospital services, policies and practices, as well as introduce you to our dedicated Medical Staff and outstanding volunteer programs. As you explore our site, I hope you will find this resource information and site features useful. Of course if you ever have any questions; please don't hesitate to contact us.

GCMH has been serving the health needs of regional residents and visitors for over 60 years and our goals remain the same – to promote the health of our regional community and provide safe, high quality care and health services to all our patients. In a close-knit community like ours, our patients are our friends, acquaintances, and family. So at GCMH, we really do know what it means to care. We promise to treat you well; provide you with compassionate, committed, and competent staff; utilizing up-to-date medical technology, and ensuring your clinical outcomes are the very best possible.

I hope this is just the first of many visits you make to our website as you will find that it will be changing regularly as we announce new programs, services and events. I also invite you to please take advantage of our many wellness/prevention program offerings. Here at Garrett County Memorial Hospital, we believe in striving to help keep you well; rather than just getting you well.

We appreciate your confidence and trust in our hospital, our services and our staff for your health and well-being. We will always strive to strengthen your confidence and faith in our facility with quality care and compassionate caring by sustaining our experience, excellence and expansion. Thank you for your support of our facility and thank for visiting our website!

Yours in good health,

Donald P. Battista
President/CEO
