UM Shore Medical Center at Chestertown team members are shown with the banner announcing the hospital’s success in achieving the first level of Age-Friendly Health System (AFHS) designation. This achievement required a detailed application documenting how hospital care protocols adhere to the “4Ms” (What Matters, Medication, Mentation and Mobility). Achieving full Level 2 AFHS designation will help the Chestertown hospital continue to offer high-quality, efficient, appropriate and compassionate care close to home for residents of Kent and northern Queen Anne’s counties.
Beryl Smith says
There is a huge debt of gratitude to all those who worked so hard to make this happen: the citizens of Kent and Queen Anne’s counties, the doctors and nurses who advocated for the designation, and the tireless legislators (Sen. Hershey comes to mind) for their tireless rendering of bills that could pass muster to achieve this designation. Then the work began and the hospital stepped up and won the prize. Thank you to all!
