MedHaven Health reopens in Glen Burnie after Empire Towers evacuation

MedHaven Health has resumed in-person care at a new Glen Burnie location after an emergency closure forced the practice out of Empire Towers in July. The reopening restores primary care and other services for patients across Anne Arundel County and nearby communities.

Why it matters: - MedHaven Health’s reopening restores in-person medical care after nearly two months of disruption for patients in Glen Burnie and surrounding communities. - The move brings back services that could not be delivered fully by telehealth, including exams, screenings and other routine care. - The practice now has a new permanent base at 1600 Crain Highway South, Suite 201, Glen Burnie, MD 21061.

What happened: - MedHaven Health reopened on Sept. 1, 2026, after relocating from Empire Towers. - An emergency evacuation on July 9, 2026, followed structural concerns involving the Empire Towers parking garage. - The evacuation forced MedHaven Health and other businesses to leave the building without access to medical equipment, supplies or examination rooms. - The practice continued limited telehealth services while preparing the new office.

The details: - The relocation created operational and financial challenges tied to building out a new office. - The practice also had to maintain patient relationships and support staff during the closure. - MedHaven Health now offers primary care, women's health services, preventive screenings, chronic disease management, mental health support, addiction treatment, vaccinations and other routine medical services. - The practice accepts Medicare, Maryland Medicaid and numerous commercial insurance plans. - Same-day appointments may be available, depending on scheduling. - Office hours are Monday, Tuesday and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Wednesday and Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. - Patients can schedule appointments at MedHaven Health's website or by calling 301-501-5779.

Between the lines: - The closure shows how a building emergency can quickly interrupt local healthcare access, even for established practices. - The shift to a new location likely helps MedHaven Health stabilize operations while preserving continuity for existing patients. - Medical Director Oluwakemi Balogun, CRNP, FNP-BC, framed the recovery around patient continuity and the practice’s role in the community.

What's next: - MedHaven Health will continue serving patients from the new Glen Burnie office. - The practice is seeking to welcome both new and existing patients from Glen Burnie, Pasadena, Severn, Millersville and nearby areas. - The new location gives the practice room to rebuild full in-person service after the forced evacuation.

The bottom line: - MedHaven Health is back in person after an abrupt building evacuation, and local patients now have access to the clinic’s full range of care again.
