THE HOSPITAL, AS A SOLE COMMUNITY PROVIDER, PROVIDES ESSENTIAL HEALTHCARE SERVICES SUCH AS OBSTETRICS, PSYCHIATRY (BOTH INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT), EMERGENCY SERVICES, URGENT CARE AND LONG-TERM CARE THAT OTHERWISE WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED WITHIN CALVERT COUNTY OR WOULD HAVE TO BE PROVIDED BY THE GOVERNMENT. MANY OF THESE SERVICES BY THEIR NATURE ARE UNPROFITABLE SERVICES DUE TO THEIR HIGH COST AND LOW REIMBURSEMENT. THESE SERVICES WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED IF THE HOSPITAL DID NOT STEP IN TO PROVIDE THEM.
