Awards
Congratulations to our UPMC Western Maryland Home Health team for receiving its recertification from the State of Maryland’s Office of Health Care Quality (OHQC), the agency within the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene responsible for monitoring the quality of care in the state’s 8,000 health care and community residential programs. Our Home Health team accomplished an unheard of “deficiency-free” state survey.
