AmeriWell Clinics has appointed Dr. Erin Saunders, DNP, FNP-C, as the new Medical Director for its Baltimore and Clinton, Maryland locations. Dr. Saunders brings a strong background in critical care and a reputation for compassionate, patient-centered care to her new role, which involves overseeing clinical operations at both facilities. She earned her Doctor of Nursing Practice from the University of Maryland in 2025 and her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Towson University in 2018, with seven years of experience in high-acuity hospital environments including surgical units, intensive care units, and pediatric ICUs.
In her position, Dr. Saunders will provide leadership and supervision to the medical teams at AmeriWell's Baltimore clinic, located at 3424 Annapolis Rd., and the Clinton clinic, at 9135 Piscataway Rd., Suite 105, while continuing to deliver hands-on patient care. Her appointment represents AmeriWell's commitment to strengthening clinical leadership and expanding access to high-quality healthcare services in communities that have historically faced barriers to comprehensive medical care. The organization serves underprivileged and underserved communities throughout the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metro areas with 14 convenient locations offering integrated medical, chiropractic, and physical therapy services.
AmeriWell Clinics specializes in treating patients recovering from auto accidents, workplace injuries, and other personal injury events, with a multidisciplinary approach that supports individuals managing chronic pain, healing from musculoskeletal injuries, or working toward improved mobility and overall function. The team is experienced with personal injury and workers' compensation cases, helping patients access necessary care while supporting their legal and insurance processes. Dr. Saunders' critical care background and patient-centered philosophy align with the organization's mission to provide integrated, accessible healthcare to underserved populations, particularly those who might otherwise struggle to obtain comprehensive medical services.
The clinics' focus on serving communities with limited healthcare access makes this leadership appointment particularly significant, as it brings additional clinical expertise to areas where quality medical care is most needed. Dr. Saunders' recognition for her calm, confident approach to complex medical situations and her deep commitment to patient well-being will contribute to AmeriWell's ability to deliver effective treatment across its service areas. This development supports the broader healthcare landscape by addressing disparities in medical access through strengthened clinical leadership at community-based facilities dedicated to comprehensive patient care.
