Maryland medical statistics

Are you a Maryland ACLS, PALS and BLS certified medical professional seeking some information on the current condition of cardiovascular related issues in your state? We have compiled state and national health reports in order to describe the current health indicators for the residents of Maryland.

How is Maryland unique?

Compared to the other states in the Northeastern Region of the United States, Maryland is unhealthy. The first indicator is that the Maryland life-expectancy is the lowest in the region at seventy-eight years. Furthermore, Maryland has one of the highest cardiovascular related death rates. For every 100,000 citizens, two hundred and eighty-one die from cardiovascular related complications. Maryland is second only to New York in this category.

Despite having a high rate of heart-related deaths, Maryland has a relatively low rate of heart disease at 3.7%.

RN license transfer, renewal & continuing ed

Each state needs a competent medical workforce to meet the needs of its citizens. However, the requirements for some health care professions are not the same in each state.
