Maryland Governor and State Officials Learn about Community Needs
Story by Adventist HealthCare Staff
Adventist HealthCare Fort Washington Medical Center was honored to host a visit from Maryland Governor Wes Moore and other state officials last fall. The tour and discussion helped establish greater understanding surrounding the need for state support of Adventist HealthCare’s new hospital project to better serve the Prince George’s community through high-quality and compassionate care in a convenient location.
President & CEO John Sackett, along with other key system and medical leaders, gave the governor a tour of the hospital. The governor was highly impressed with the facility, the level of care provided and the commitment of the team members but agreed that a larger and more modern facility was needed to best serve the area’s growing population.
Fort Washington Medical Center recently celebrated its five-year anniversary with Adventist HealthCare and highlighted some major milestones, including serving as Maryland’s first medical-surgical field hospital to provide care for COVID-19 patients during the pandemic, earning a Leapfrog “A” Grade for outstanding patient safety and quality in the spring of 2024, and securing an initial $10 million in state funding for the construction of a new hospital.
