Maryland rural-health awards name Choptank, Greater Baden, Mountain Laurel, and West Cecil
Maryland's first Rural Health Transformation award round names four FQHCs in official award-offer documents: Choptank Community Health System ($1,976,042), Greater Baden Medical Services ($1,448,100), Mountain Laurel Medical Center ($1,058,750), and West Cecil Health Center ($1,159,875 plus $695,532, or $1,855,407 combined). West Cecil's primary-care offer targets 665 new patients.
These are award offers and targets, not proof of completed expansion, hiring, disbursement, or realized patient volume; the statewide $80 million and 'tens of thousands' language should not be assigned to these four centers.
Key takeaways
- Four named FQHCs have organization-level dollar offers in the state documents.
- West Cecil's 665-patient figure is a target, not measured access.
