Maryland Closes Some State Hospital Beds
This past Fall (2007), the state has closed 50 beds at Springfield and Spring Grove. At the same time they have opened/or converted 22 adult beds at the Finan Center in Cumberland, Maryland, and part of their plan includes "purchasing" the use of private hospital beds for the uninsured.
State Hospitals no longer accept voluntary patients with insurance, including Medicaid/MA.
