UM Shore Medical Center at Chestertown team members are shown with the banner announcing the hospital’s success in achieving the first level of Age-Friendly Health System (AFHS) designation. This achievement required a detailed application documenting how hospital care protocols adhere to the “4Ms” (What Matters, Medication, Mentation and Mobility). Achieving full Level 2 AFHS designation will help the Chestertown hospital continue to offer high-quality, efficient, appropriate and compassionate care close to home for residents of Kent and northern Queen Anne’s counties.
