Health Disparities Continue in St. Mary’s County providers such as nurse practitioners, physician assis- tants, and medical assistants are part of our innovative approach to solve this challenging shortage. “We built a four- apartment building to accommo- date residents and fellows-in-training and other provid- ers. We are committed to fostering relationships across our MedStar Health system to attract additional talent- ed medical professionals to our growing community.” The difficulty in accessing effective and regular pri- mary care can lead to debilitating diseases such as un- diagnosed cancer, cardiovascular disease and chronic lower respiratory disease. The report showed that cancer was the leading killer in St. Mary’s County in 2017 with a rate of 179 per 100,000 residents. Cardiovascular disease was the second highest cause of death locally with a mortality rate of 102.8 per 100,000 residents, the report stated; also respira- tory disease was also called a “major cause of death” in St. Mary’s with an rate of 41.4 per 100,000 residents. The number of deaths due to fatal opioid overdoses, which has received major attention from public health and elected officials, for 2018 was 33. According to the report cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and chronic lower respiratory dis- ease contributed 57 percent of all deaths in St. Mary’s County. Several of these serious conditions, which can be exacerbated by a lack of access to care, are also con- nected to obesity, which is a serious problem in St. Mary’s County. The report showed that just 28.3 percent of county residents are at a healthy weight while the remainder, or 70.3 are overweight or obese; the report showed there are more obese residents than simply overweight. Brewster, the county’s chief health officer, said that St. Mary’s suffered from much the same sort of “hid- By Guy Leonard “It also saves a lot of money. den epidemic” as other jurisdictions in the nation when Staff Writer “Early detection gives a tremendous savings in it came to citizens keeping healthy weights. health care costs.” “That’s not unusual unfortunately,” Brewster said.
