Annual Report to Govenor & General Assembly on health care delivery in mid-dhore region due Dec. 1, beginning 2021 (Chapter 606, Acts of 2018).
In July 2018, Rural Health Collaborative Pilot was created by General Assembly (Chapter 606, Acts of 2018).
Collaborative was to head a regional partnership to build a rural health system in Mid-Shore Region, encompassing Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne's and Talbot counties. System accessed and used health care services to provide health care; align with State's Medicare Waiver; and improve rural health. Further, Collaborative mediated disputes within partnership; assisted local health care providers in collaborating; and promoted rural economic development in Mid-Shore Region. In addition, Collaborative ensured that county officials and residents were aware of health needs, and available resources in Mid-Shore Region.
For communities that lack access to essential community-based primary care, behavioral health, dental care, or specialty care, Collaborative worked to establish rural health complexes. After it assessed local needs, identified care delivery models, and built concensus on the local level, Collaborative recommended to Secretary of Health the building of a rural health complex.
Collaborative had between twenty-nine and thirty-five members appointed by Secretary of Health. Twelve members of Executive Committee also were members of Collaborative.
In Dec. 2021, Collaborative merged with Mid-Shore Local Health Improvement Coalition.
