Howard County General Hospital

Among the first Johns Hopkins community hospitals to implement Epic, Howard County General Hospital (HCGH) had a strong foundation on which to implement this electronic medical record system. The HCGH Epic team worked diligently to transition to this revolutionary system, which went live on June 1, 2013.
