What Calvert County Health Department does

Calvert County Health Department is a governmental public health agency operating as an agent of both the State of Maryland and Calvert County, headquartered in Prince Frederick, Maryland, with historical roots dating to the 1920s. The department provides a comprehensive portfolio of public health services to Calvert County residents, organized across four pillars: Personal Health (behavioral health, mental health clinic, vaccinations, reproductive health, maternal/child health, WIC, diabetes/prediabetes support, cancer screening, tobacco cessation), Community Services (environmental health inspections, food service permitting, well water and septic oversight, vital records), Health Threats (disease surveillance and response, emergency preparedness including radiation readiness around Calvert Cliffs nuclear plant), and Crisis Response (Calvert Center for Change, Calvert Safe Housing Network, 24/7 crisis hotline). Operations are delivered through a central office on the CalvertHealth Medical Center campus, satellite locations in Barstow (substance abuse treatment at the county detention center) and the county office building (environmental health), a mobile outreach van, and an embedded Genoa Healthcare pharmacy.

The department operates on an annual budget of approximately $11 million funded by state and county government appropriations, supplemented by a sliding fee schedule based on family size and income. It employs approximately 130 staff, with a leadership team led by Health Officer Dr. Nimfa Teneza-Mora and Deputy Health Officer Dr. Andrew Holter, supported by directors across behavioral health, clinical services, the Local Behavioral Health Authority, environmental health, nursing, human resources, and emergency preparedness. Service delivery is conducted through walk-in clinics, scheduled appointments, community outreach, provider referrals, and partner agency coordination with the Maryland Department of Health, Maryland Department of the Environment, CDC, EPA, CalvertHealth Hospital, and Calvert Safe Housing Network. The technology stack is limited to standard government health information systems and public health surveillance infrastructure, with no proprietary AI/ML or technology platform components. All services are provided on a non-discriminatory basis with no denial of access for inability to pay.
