(September 14, 2020) – As scientists and researchers continue working on clinical trials of COVID-19 vaccines, there is something even more important for individuals to receive this year – their annual flu vaccination. Although about 64 percent of Americans got a flu vaccine last season, about a third of the population remained unprotected from the flu. As many as 20 percent of people in the United States come down with the flu each year.

University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center (UM CRMC) announced several recent awards and designations recognizing the La Plata-based hospital for the outstanding care it provides in a variety of areas.

The Charles Regional Medical Center Foundation launched its “Hope Starts at Home” campaign to raise funds for the CRMC Resiliency Fund. As of mid-June, the campaign surpassed the halfway mark toward its goal of raising $150,000 to support this critical mission.
