Annapolis is the state capital and the county seat, and with Arnold, Riva and Edgewater it makes up the south-central part of the county. Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center on Jennifer Road is the hospital, and the county Department of Aging and Disabilities is headquartered at the Heritage Complex on Riva Road. The area includes some of the county's larger communities and continuing care campuses, so there is more variety in size and price than in the north county.
