LSM Examines Southern Maryland Healthcare |

The Executive Program Class of 2023 convened at MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital and Pyramid California Residential and Outpatient Treatment Center on Jan. 5 for a day-long examination of the current state of healthcare in Southern Maryland.
Participants sat down with the CEOs, chief financial officers, and other senior leaders of MedStar St. Mary’s, CalvertHealth System, and University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center, and with the county health officers and other key public health staff to discuss current challenges and opportunities of our healthcare system. They learned how workforce and financial sustainability challenges are met in part through collaboration with Southern Maryland’s educational institutions and other community partners.
The LSM group received a behind-the-scenes virtual tour of MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital’s cutting-edge capabilities in robotic surgery and interventional radiology.
“Hearing about the surgery capabilities and robotics availability in the local area was amazing!” said Ryan Morning, Director of Business Development at StraCon Services Group. “I had no idea we were using that technology at MedStar St. Mary’s.”
The group placed special focus on mental and behavioral health in Southern Maryland. A dementia exercise by Sagepoint Senior Living Services put participants into the shoes of people living with memory loss and sensory impairment.
“The dementia exercise was eye-opening,” said Tekla Research Vice President of Pax River Operations Steven Girard. “Getting an understanding of what dementia patients are going through and seeing how they 'see' the world was very helpful.”
Pyramid California Residential and Outpatient Treatment Center, the Maryland Coalition of Families, and the St. Mary’s County Health Department Harm Reduction Program introduced participants to innovative and supportive programming available to residents suffering from mental illness and addiction. A walk through the Charles County Sheriff’s Office’s Heroin Overdose Prevention Effort (HOPE) Trailer brought home the message that addiction and mental illness can touch any family. Dr. Johnnie Taylor, Jr., Neany, Inc. Managing Director of Contracts remarked, “I am so impressed by the obvious collaboration between agencies and respect for what each agency contributes to resolving the healthcare challenges in our tri-county area.”
Special thanks to John Greely LSM ’21, Vice President of MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital for serving as Session Advocate; to Dean Teague LSM ’14 and Lori Werrell LSM ’13 for serving as panelists; to Amber Starn LSM ’20, Erin Farley LSM ’21, and Kara Harrer, LSM ’21 for moderating sessions; and to featured Gold Sponsor, the Chesapeake-Potomac Healthcare Alliance.
