COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING - CONSTRUCTION - PROJECT TITLE: NEW FEDERALSBURG HEALTH CENTER ADDRESS: 301 RANDOLPH STREET, DENTON, MD 21629 PROJECT DIRECTOR: SARA RICH, CEO PHONE: 410-479-8395 FAX: 410-479-1714 EMAIL: SRICH@CHOPTANKHEALTH.ORG WEBSITE: CHOPTANKHEALTH.ORG GRANT PROGRAMS FUNDS REQUESTED: CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING (CDS): CONSTRUCTION PROJECT HRSA-22-134 IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY IMPLEMENT THE CCHS STRATEGIC PLAN, AN INVESTMENT MUST BE MADE IN UPDATED AND NEW FACILITIES. TO THAT END, THE CCHS BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CURRENT FEDERALSBURG FACILITY. THE CURRENT FEDERALSBURG MEDICAL AND DENTAL CENTER PROVIDES PRIMARY CARE FOR ADULTS, INFANTS AND CHILDREN; BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES WITH ONE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SPECIALIST AND GENERAL DENTAL SERVICES. CCHS IS A SITE FOR NYU LANGONE ADVANCED EDUCATION IN GENERAL DENTISTRY (AEGD) RESIDENCY PROGRAM WHICH IS EXPANDING FROM 2 RESIDENTS TO 4 RESIDENTS IN 2022. PLANS ARE UNDERWAY TO ADD A PEDIATRIC DENTAL RESIDENCY PROGRAM. ADDITIONALLY, CCHS IS WORKING WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND SCHOOL OF MEDICINE TO BRING A RURAL RESIDENCY PROGRAM TO THE EASTERN SHORE WITH PLANS TO HOUSE THE PROGRAM AT THE NEW FEDERALSBURG LOCATION. THIS NEW FACILITY WILL ALLOW FOR THESE EXPANSIONS TO OCCUR WHILE INCREASING ACCESS TO MEDICAL AND DENTAL HEALTH CARE FOR THE COMMUNITY. CCHS SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE FOR ALL RESIDENTS IN THE SERVICE AREA. SPECIFIC TARGET POPULATIONS INCLUDE LOW-INCOME RESIDENTS, UNINSURED AND UNDERINSURED FAMILIES, AND MIGRANT AND SEASONAL WORKERS. COMPARED TO THE REST OF MARYLAND THE CCHS SERVICE AREA HAS HIGHER LEVELS OF POVERTY, ESPECIALLY FOR CHILDREN; A HIGHER PERCENT OF UNINSURED RESIDENTS; LOWER MEDIAN INCOME; FEWER HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES; AND A HIGHER UNEMPLOYMENT RATE. THE REPLACEMENT FACILITY WILL SUPPORT QUALITY CARE DELIVERY AND IMPROVE ACCESS SO THAT ALL CAROLINE COUNTY RESIDENTS CAN GET THE CARE THEY NEED WHEN THEY WANT IT. THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE AN UPDATED FACILITY FOR COM MUNITY MEMBERS TO RECEIVE MEDICAL, DENTAL AND EXPANDED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE. CCHS PROPOSES TO CONSTRUCT A ONE FLOOR, APPROXIMATELY 21,000 SQ. FT. BUILDING TO ADDRESS THE REGION’S INCREASED NEED FOR PREVENTIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE PRIMARY CARE, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH, ORAL HEALTH, AND WOMEN’S HEALTH SERVICES. WHEN FULLY OPERATIONAL, CCHS WILL MODEL A “MEDICAL HOME,” STATE OF THE ART FACILITY UTILIZING THE LATEST TECHNOLOGIES TO PROVIDE AN “EXCEPTIONAL PATIENT EXPERIENCE.” THIS PROJECT WILL PROVIDE GREATER ACCESS TO MEDICAL, DENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CARE TO THE RESIDENTS OF CAROLINE COUNTY THEREBY IMPROVING HEALTH OUTCOMES.
