Berkeley Medical Center serves the community as a 195-bed non-profit acute care hospital. BMC offers full radiology services including MRI, PET, nuclear medicine and interventional radiology; a wound care center with two hyperbaric chambers, a NICU, a 20-bed ICU, oncology services, neurosurgery services (including a Mazor robot) and a Cardiac Cath Lab.

BMC recently expanded OR services by adding four new outpatient ORs and five new ORs in the main hospital to grow services in robotics, orthopedics, and vascular health.

Our Eastern Panhandle location is a little more than an hour from Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD. A rural atmosphere and lower cost of living mixed with the easy accessibility to the Washington DC/Baltimore, MD areas, make the Eastern Panhandle an ideal place to live. While Berkeley County is among the fastest growing counties in the state, there is little congestion and traffic. In recent years, a steady influx of urban professionals from nearby Washington, DC and Baltimore, MD have contributed to the growth of local telecommuting and high-tech industries.
