Greenway Avenue Stadium
Greenway Avenue Stadium

Greenway Avenue Stadium, located in Cumberland, Maryland serves as the primary athletics stadium for Allegany County, Maryland, United States. Originally named Fort Hill Stadium it was constructed in the 1930s by the Public Works Administration as part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. The field first opened for play in the fall of 1937 and was called Fort Hill Stadium. The name was changed in 1987 to Greenway Avenue Stadium, named after the street where it resides. The facility is shared by both Allegany High School and Fort Hill High School. The stadium seats 6,054 with a total capacity of approximately 15,000. Prior to 1998 the field was natural grass. In 1998, the field was upgraded to an all weather prescription turf with the anticipation of hosting scrimmages by the Washington Redskins who held summer training camp at Frostburg State University. The prescription turf was again replaced for the 2008 football season and again replaced for the 2019 season. In February 2022 the Allegany County Commissioners awarded $5 million to support the renovation of Greenway Avenue Stadium. Projects included in the package are replacement of the visitor's side bleachers and adding a new running track. The money will come from the fund balance for the project, with the county adding a pledge of $1.5 million from the American Rescue Plan Act. Each year thousands of spectators attend the student athletic events held in the stadium. The facility is the location of some of the state's finest music and sporting events.

Memorial Hospital (Cumberland)
Memorial Hospital (Cumberland)

Memorial Hospital is a defunct hospital that once served the Greater Cumberland, Maryland region in the USA. It was formerly operated by the Western Maryland Health System. The building is currently owned by the City of Cumberland, Maryland. Established as the Western Maryland Hospital in 1888, Memorial Hospital moved to its location on Memorial Avenue in Cumberland in 1929 and was renamed in honor of those who gave their life in World War I. Memorial Hospital was once operated by the City of Cumberland and became a private non-profit organization in the early 1980s. It was then operated by the Cumberland Memorial Hospital Corporation.In an effort to effectively manage local healthcare resources, Memorial and Sacred Heart Hospital joined together in April 1996 to form the Western Maryland Health System (WMHS). Working together, the two hospitals were able to expand the range of healthcare services available to local residents and successfully meet the challenges associated with an ever-changing healthcare industry. One way this was accomplished was by assigning specialty centers to each hospital. The Memorial Campus had specialty centers for Children's and Adolescents' Health, Orthopedic and Joint Reconstruction, Trauma Services, and Women's Health, while the Sacred Heart Campus specialized in Behavioral Health, Cardiac Services, Oncology Services, and Outpatient Services. In 2006 work began on a new facility on Willowbrook Road in Cumberland to consolidate the Western Maryland Health System within the city into one centralized facility.On November 21, 2009, the Western Maryland Regional Medical Center opened. As of 3:30 PM that same day, all patients from both Memorial Hospital and Sacred Heart Hospital (WMHS Braddock Campus) had been moved to the new hospital and the two facilities were closed. The campus, which is still owned by the City of Cumberland, was under lease to development company Ridgecrest Investments Inc, who in turn leased out space to a number of private tenants for the three years following the hospitals closing. The agreement between the city and Ridgecrest Investments was terminated in early 2012 due to the low percentage of the site being leased to tenants. A few months after, all tenants were told to vacate the site by the end of the year as the city works to divest itself of the property. The agreement between the city and WMHS upon the closure of the hospital does not allow the site to be use as a hospital, or any other type of facility that would compete with the services of Western Maryland Regional Medical Center.
