Report to Governor & General Assembly on standards & criteria for approving a rural health complex due Dec. 1, 2020 (Chapter 606, Acts of 2018).

Annual Report to Govenor & General Assembly on health care delivery in mid-shore region due Dec. 1, beginning 2021 (Chapter 606, Acts of 2018).


In July 2018, the Rural Health Collaborative Pilot was created (Chapter 606, Acts of 2018).

The Collaborative is to head a regional partnership to build a rural health system in the Mid-Shore Region, encompassing Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne's and Talbot counties. The system will access and use health care services for providing health care; aligning with the State's Medicare Waiver; and improving rural health. Further, the Collaborative will mediate disputes within the partnership; assist local health care providers in collaborating; and promote rural economic development in the mid-shore region. In addition, the Collaborative will ensure that county officials and residents are aware of health needs, and available resources in the mid-shore region.

For communities that lack access to essential community-based primary care, behavioral health, dental care, or specialty care, the Collaborative will work to establish rural health complexes. After assessing local needs, identifying care delivery models, and building concensus on the local level, the Collaborative will recommend to the Secretary of Health the building of a rural health complex.

The Collaborative has between twenty-nine and 35 members appointed by the Secretary of Health. The twelve members of the Executive Committee also are members of the Collaborative.
