Priority Health Needs
Mental Health & Mental Disorders
Exercise, Nutrition, & Weight
The 2021 CHNA Annual Report highlights the accomplishments that CalvertHealth Medical Center has made in addressing these top four priority health needs within our community: cancer, heart disease & stroke, mental health & mental disorders, and exercise, nutrition, & weight.
Here is what the Community Wellness team has done to address these priorities:
- Skin cancer screenings
- In 2021, we were able to refer 10 patients for follow-up appointments with a specialist regarding potential abnormalities on their skin.
- 2021 Diabetes Expo
- The Community Wellness team and our community partners gathered for a socially distanced outdoor expo that hosted vendors delivering diabetic education and management resources, as well as live informational sessions from endocrinologists.
- This event was a success, with over 130 participants. The Calvert County Lion’s Club was able to perform 18 hearing and eye exams for the public.
