University of Maryland Shore Regional Health (UM SRH), a member organization of the University of Maryland Medical System, has established a new Shore Community Outreach Team (SCOT) to advance health care access and support for Dorchester County residents. 

Following the model that has served residents of Kent and northern Queen Anne’s counties since 2021, members of the Shore Community Outreach Team – Dorchester will visit trusted community sites throughout the county, including places of worship, residential care facilities, firehouses, senior centers, health fairs and community events, and other social centers. SCOT also will serve Dorchester patients and families in their home settings. Services offered include: Home safety inspections, assistance with filling out advance directives, blood pressure checks and health screenings, case management for those with chronic illnesses (diabetes, heart failure, COPD, etc.), wellness activities and arrangement of telehealth consults with health care providers.

In Kent County, SCOT activities have yielded impressive results. During 2023, the team enrolled 115 patients and conducted 920 home. After six months, 75 patients identified as “high utilizers” realized an average decrease in health care charges of $5,919 per patient.

“We’ve seen that taking health care information and support out into the community, meeting patients ‘where they are’ with free health care screenings, information, guidance and support, helps them manage their health conditions and achieve a better quality of life,” said Jess Denny, Interim Director of Population Health for UM SRH. “We are excited to get Dorchester’s Shore Community Outreach Team up and running, and to start providing these important health care services in Cambridge and other locations throughout the county.”

The SCOT – Dorchester staff now includes a nurse coordinator and two community health advocates. A search for a social worker is in progress.

Rochalla Jones, BSN, RN, has been named Nurse Coordinator of SCOT – Dorchester. A resident of Hudson, Md., Jones has been with UM SRH for more than decade, most recently serving as Nurse Navigator in the Cancer Center. Previously she spent several years working with patients in University of Maryland Shore Medical Group practices, and in Same Day Surgery and inpatient care. Jones earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from American Public University, and her Associate of Science degree from Chesapeake College’s Macqueen Gibbs Willis School of Nursing.

Courtney Thomas, of Cambridge, Md., and Amanda McDermott, of Trappe, Md., have joined SCOT-Dorchester as Community Health Advocates.

Thomas most recently worked for the Eastern Shore Area Higher Education Center in Cambridge, first as a Community Health Worker and then as Special Initiatives Program Coordinator. Previously she served the Talbot County Health Department as a Medical Scribe. A graduate of North Dorchester High School in Hurlock, Md., Thomas is a state-licensed Community Health Worker, and holds certifications in Youth Mental Health First Aid and Strengthening Families Program Group Leader Training Facilitation.

McDermott’s experience includes more than 13 years in emergency health care services, serving as a Paramedic in Talbot County and an Emergency Medical Technician in Dorchester County 3). Also a graduate of North Dorchester High School, McDermott has served as an adjunct faculty member in Chesapeake College’s paramedic course, and is certified in critical incident stress management.

The Cancer Center at the University of Maryland Shore Regional Health (UM SRH) will offer prostate screenings at no cost to eligible participants on Tuesday, September 24, from 5 to 7 p.m. The screenings, which are conducted as part of a clinical research trial, are open to males over 45 who have never had a prostate cancer screening and to males ages 55 to 69 who are due for an annual prostate cancer screening. UM SRH is a member organization of the University of Maryland Medical System.

Statistics based on data from 2023 indicate that nationwide, one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer over the course of his lifetime. The risk for veterans is 1.5 times higher than the general population and African-American men are 2.1 times more likely to die of the disease than those of Caucasian descent. Early detection and treatment are key to achieving the best outcome.; In cases where the tumor is not metastasized (i.e., contained within the prostate), the five-year survival after treatment is almost 100%.

“Prostate screening is an important tool that men in their 40s and beyond should undergo to help maintain their best health,” said Christina Weisenborn, BSN, RN, OCN, Clinical Trials Nurse at the Cancer Center at UM SRH. “Anyone unsure of whether or not he should be screened is encouraged to ask his health care provider. We look forward to having a strong turnout for this free screening offered during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.”

The Cancer Center at UM SRH is located at 509 Idlewild Avenue in Easton. RSVP for the Prostate Screening event (no later than September 13, 2024) or ask questions, by calling 410-820-6800, ext. 2300.
