For a century now, we have been determined to bring the highest quality of care to our community. It is a rich heritage of dedication and commitment to excellence that we continue to provide today. 2019 will be a year-long celebration at CalvertHealth as we honor and recognize 100 years of exceptional care. During the year, we will honor those individuals who recognized the need in 1919 for a community hospital to care for the watermen, the farmers and the hardworking families who chose to make Calvert County their home. They built a community hospital passionate about caring for their residents. It’s now up to us to build on these strengths to ensure a bright future for Calvert.

We’ve come a long way in the last 100 years. We’ve grown from a two-story building in 1919 to an integrated health care system providing a wide network of coordinated care. Today, CalvertHealth is a top regional healthcare provider, widely respected as a leader of innovative medicine among community hospitals. From 1919 to 2019 one thing remains the same: we continue to be passionate about caring for our residents and making a difference in every life we touch.

Our history makes us who we are today. Embracing the theme Celebrate our Past. Know Us Now., we’re dedicating this special issue of CalvertHealth to the men and women who came before us and to all those who have followed in their footsteps. I’ve enjoyed reading about our humble roots and look forward to paving the way as we begin a new era in health care for our region.

Look for announcements to celebrate our 100th Anniversary! We’ll host fun events to thank everyone who made this possible – our outstanding physicians and exceptional staff, our valued volunteers and community partners. I’d also like to thank the individuals who shared their personal stories and photos with us that made this special anniversary edition possible.
