The Dimensions Healthcare System board of directors said Friday it has unanimously approved a plan to become a part of the University of Maryland Medical System.
The Prince George’s County health system said it is “an important step” in a process that has been several years in the making to become an affiliate of the University of Maryland.

Lancaster said the goal is to have the affiliation completed this year.
The hospitals also need to work out several legal, regulatory, financial and transactional agreements.
