Southern Maryland pickup settings

Leonardtown Trips Move Between the Town Core, Hospital Campus and Rural Roads

A trip from the town square is different from a hospital discharge on Point Lookout Road or a pickup from a rural St. Mary’s County property.

Town core

Washington Street, Fenwick Street and central Leonardtown

Confirm front or side entrance, steps, curb space, apartment access and the safest location for the passenger to meet the vehicle.

Hospital area

Point Lookout Road and MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital

State the exact department, entrance, room, surgery area or discharge contact rather than only naming the hospital.

Practice corridors

Miss Bessie Drive and Hollywood Road medical offices

Provide the practice name, suite, appointment time and whether the passenger needs a round trip or call-for-return.

Rural county

Hollywood, Clements, Valley Lee and outlying pickups

Longer driveways, limited turning space and greater route distance should be reviewed with mobility and return information.

Hospital-campus coordination

MedStar St. Mary’s Supports Many Services—But the Final Stop Must Be Specific

Hospital, ambulatory surgery, imaging, dialysis, rehabilitation and specialty destinations can require different entrances and contacts.

For a discharge, provide the releasing unit and pickup entrance. For an appointment, provide the practice, suite and required check-in time.
