Every day the team at CalvertHealth focuses on making a
difference in every life we touch. For more than a century,
our guiding philosophy has been to ensure the services
we provide to our patients are of the highest quality.
This commitment to quality and safety is evidenced by
the results of our patient outcomes and the recognition
received from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services (CMS), The Joint Commission, American Heart
Association and others.

more than $61 million to upgrade technology, improve
facilities and expand services. This includes $8.4 million
