Public Hearings
The
purpose of the public hearings is to gather input from residents about health
and health care in their communities. The Rural Health Care Delivery Work Group will use community input from
these hearings to develop an approach to improve health and well-being for the
Mid-Shore and other rural communities in Maryland. Members of the Rural Health Work Group, staff
of MHCC, and our research team will attend the hearings.
