Traditional health care fading as occupancy slips nationwide
Frederick Memorial Hospital joins a national trend toward shorter stays and outpatient care. Officials note occupancy fell from 75 to 70.8 percent year to year, with similar declines at Montgomery General, Shady Grove Adventist, and Washington County Hospital. Growth in home health and outpatient services helps offset inpatient revenue declines amid looming reform.

Parents oppose school clinics in Maryland schools
A coalition of religious and anti abortion groups charges the Schaefer administration plans to place health clinics in public schools without parental knowledge to push condom use and abortion counseling. Maryland aims for Robert Wood Johnson Foundation planning grants with a potential 15 month dialogue phase before any clinics open, possibly four clinics in two systems if selected.
