Before You Go To The Hospital
Maryland passed a law called the Maryland Patient Bill of Rights. The law ensures you receive safe, respectful, and equal care in hospitals. It protects you from abuse, helps you understand your treatment, and ensures your privacy. It requires hospitals to communicate clearly, allowing you to make your own health decisions.
