AmeriWell Clinics has appointed Dr. Erin Saunders, DNP, FNP-C, as the new Medical Director for its Baltimore and Clinton, Maryland locations, bringing both clinical excellence and leadership to her new role. With a strong background in critical care and a reputation for compassionate, patient-centered care, Dr. Saunders' 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.
Dr. Saunders 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. Over the past seven years, she has worked in high-acuity hospital environments including surgical units, intensive care units, and pediatric ICUs, where she gained recognition for her calm, confident approach to complex medical situations and her deep commitment to patient well-being. Her critical care background and patient-centered philosophy align with the organization's mission to provide integrated, accessible healthcare to underserved populations.
In her new role, Dr. Saunders will oversee the clinical operations at AmeriWell's Baltimore clinic, located at 3424 Annapolis Rd., and the Clinton clinic, at 9135 Piscataway Rd., Suite 105. She will provide leadership and supervision to the medical teams at both locations while continuing to deliver hands-on care to patients. This leadership enhancement is particularly significant given AmeriWell Clinics' role as a full-service healthcare provider serving underprivileged and underserved communities throughout the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metro areas.
The organization specializes in caring for patients who are recovering from auto accidents, workplace injuries, and other personal injury events, with 14 convenient locations offering integrated medical, chiropractic, and physical therapy services to treat a wide range of health conditions. The multidisciplinary approach supports individuals managing chronic pain, healing from musculoskeletal injuries, or working toward improved mobility and overall function. The AmeriWell team is also experienced with personal injury and workers' compensation cases, helping patients access the care they need while supporting their legal and insurance processes.
Dr. Saunders' extensive experience in critical care settings positions her to effectively lead teams dealing with complex medical cases often encountered in underserved communities. Her appointment signals AmeriWell's ongoing investment in clinical excellence and its dedication to addressing healthcare disparities in regions where comprehensive medical services have been historically limited. The combination of her advanced clinical skills and leadership capabilities will enhance the quality of care delivery across both clinic locations, ultimately benefiting patients who rely on AmeriWell for essential healthcare services.
