Until 2021, Cheverly had been home to the University of Maryland (UM) Prince George’s Hospital Center, which was founded in 1944 and was known as a first-class trauma center. The facility closed on June 12, 2021, replaced by the all-new, $543 million University of Maryland Capital Region Medical Center, which opened the same day in nearby Largo, Md.[3]
