Kernan Hospital began more than 100 years ago as a haven for children with orthopedic deficits. While maintaining an atmosphere of country peace, it has evolved to offer innovative, interdisciplinary orthopedic and rehabilitation services for children and adults. The hospital provides a range of inpatient and outpatient programs for patients with orthopedic and neurologic conditions.
Kernan has been owned by the University of Maryland Medical System since 1986. This allows Kernan patients to access the continuity of care and extensive resources that characterize a university teaching hospital.
Kernan Hospital, a committed provider of orthopedic surgery, has dedicated operating room teams thoroughly trained on orthopedic procedures. The staff consists of a support team of orthopedic physician assistants and dedicated nurses in the Post Anesthesia Care Unit and on the Medical/Surgical unit, providing the highest quality of care in the acute hospital setting.
