It is the doctor who gives their undivided attention.

It is the nurse who checks in at just the right moment.

It is the staff member who remains calm and never wavers, even on the hardest days.

Together, it’s an exceptional patient experience.

It's an experience that helped CalvertHealth earn a 5-Star Overall Hospital Quality Rating from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

No other Southern Maryland hospital earned such a high rating.

He’s here… and he is ready to make a splash 🦆💛

The Calvert County Parks and Recreation Moby Duck has officially landed at CalvertHealth — and he’ll be visiting with us through February 23 before heading off to his next stop!

Moby Duck is making waves in support of the annual Therapeutic Recreation Duck Race at the Edward T. Hall Aquatic Center on Saturday, February 28, 2026. This fun-filled event raises funds for the Therapeutic Recreation scholarship program, helping individuals with special needs participate in life-enriching recreation programs and summer camps.

Before he floats off to the finish line, we’d love for you to snap a photo with Moby Duck and share it on social media or follow the instructions posted on the duck to get your own duck in the race!

What you eat has a powerful impact on your heart.

Some of the most heart-healthy food choices include:
• Leafy greens like spinach and kale
• Fatty fish such as salmon and tuna
• Whole grains including oats, brown rice and quinoa
• Nuts and seeds, especially walnuts and flaxseed
• Fresh fruits like berries, oranges and apples
• Healthy fats such as olive oil and avocado

It is also encouraged to exercise at least 150 minutes per week, reduce stress and sleep 6-8 hours.

Your heart works hard for you.
Fuel it well.

Your heart works for you every day. American Heart Month is a reminder to return the favor.

Heart disease remains one of the leading health concerns in our communities, despite all the technological advancements, though many risk factors can be managed through regular checkups, healthy habits and early detection. Small steps taken consistently can make a meaningful difference over time.

From preventative screenings and diagnostic testing to advanced cardiac care, our focus is always on personalized, compassionate treatment close to home.

This February, take a moment to prioritize your heart:
• Schedule a routine wellness visit
• Know your blood pressure, cholesterol and family history
• Stay active in ways that fit your lifestyle
• Ask questions and partner with a care team you trust

Your heart matters. Your health matters. And our community is stronger when we take care of both together. Heart health is not a spectator sport!

Good health is not built in one visit.
It is built over time.

At CalvertHealth Primary Care, our providers get to know you, your history and your goals. That relationship allows care to be proactive and personal, grounded in trust, not just symptoms.

From preventive screenings and chronic condition management to guidance when life changes, primary care is your foundation for lifelong health.

If prioritizing your health is on your list this year, it all starts with making an appointment. Why not today?
