  • Maryland's First Line of Defense
    Maryland hospitals are on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the first case was reported in Maryland in March 2020, Maryland hospitals have cared for nearly 35,000 COVID patients. Maryland’s First Line of Defense COVID-19 IMPACT REPORT March 2021 www.mhaonline.org OUR REQUEST TO POLICYMAKERS As Maryland hospitals continue to fight on the front lines, the 117,000 caregivers and health professionals who work there need the support of policymakers in our state. We recognize the coronavirus has upended everyone’s lives, shuttered businesses, and led to an unfortunate economic downturn. And the state’s nonprofit hospitals have been there to save lives and provide comfort along the way. We ask the General Assembly and other policymakers not to hinder hospitals’ ability to respond and recover from the crisis. Legislation and regulations that place additional financial and operational burdens on hospitals undermine the health care system in Maryland. MARYLAND HOSPITALS CARING FOR MARYLAND THROUGH COVID-19 ADDING CAPACITY: The University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) reopened its former Laurel hospital to add 135 beds. Adventist HealthCare added 200 beds by reopening their closed Takoma Park hospital in hard-hit Prince George’s and Montgomery counties. LifeBridge Health, Mercy Medical Center, Meritus Health, Atlantic General, MedStar Health and many others created or converted spaces to add to surge capacity of more than 6,000 beds. ENSURING ACCESS: Maryland hospitals acted quickly to boost telehealth capabilities. This helps thousands of patients gain access to care remotely. SUPPORTING COMMUNITY: Maryland hospitals are leaders in testing. Hospitals tested more than 1.2 million community members, patients, and staff for COVID-19 in the first six months of the pandemic.
