Big news for families in Chestertown and throughout Kent County! 🩺💙
More access to pediatric care is now available closer to home!
We’re excited to welcome Kristen Mumford, MD, a board-certified pediatrician with more than 15 years of experience caring for children and families, to UM Shore Medical Group-Pediatrics. Dr. Mumford will provide comprehensive pediatric primary care at our NEW Chestertown location, which officially opened September 8 at:
📍 6602 Church Hill Road, Suite 400, Chestertown
From newborns through young adulthood, Dr. Mumford brings extensive experience caring for children in outpatient, hospital and community settings. She has a particular professional interest in supporting neurodivergent children and their families.
“Providing pediatric care in Chestertown gives families another opportunity to receive high-quality care in their own community,” said Timothy Shanahan, DO, Medical Director, UM Shore Medical Group. “Bringing pediatric services closer to home is one way we can help reduce barriers to care for families in rural communities.”
The new practice expands pediatric primary care options for families throughout Kent County and surrounding communities, making it easier to get the care children need without traveling as far from home.
Please join us in giving Dr. Mumford a warm welcome to the UM Shore Medical Group family — and to Chestertown! 💙
