Our Doctors Are In, By Appointment

Because of COVID-19 restrictions geared toward the health and safety of the backstretch community, the Horsemen’s Health System is not allowing walk-in patients in the MTHA office in the Laurel Park grandstand at this time.

Our team of MedStar Health doctors have offered to see patients on an appointment-only basis on live racing days, which currently are Fridays and Saturdays through August. Those who make appointments are asked to go to the main grandstand entrance with their Maryland Racing Commission badge so a security guard can escort them to the MTHA office.

Please call 410-902-6844 to make an appointment.
