Maryland's health system is facing growing pressure due to overextended hospitals, rising long-term care costs, and an aging population.
According to the Census Bureau, by 2030, 22% of Maryland's population will be age 60 or older, a 26% increase from 2012.
Challenges in the Health System
This surge will test every part of the state's healthcare infrastructure, including hospitals, assisted living facilities, and home-based caregiving.
