Did you know? While anyone can develop an infection that leads to sepsis, some people are at a higher risk — including older adults, young children, and those with chronic health conditions or weakened immune systems.

Understanding the risks is the first step in saving lives. Learn the signs, know your risks, and help protect yourself and your loved ones.

We are aware of the issue and our team is working diligently to fix it. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience. As always, in the event of an emergency, please dial 9-1-1 or report the closest Emergency Room.

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Because there is no routine screening test, knowing the symptoms is your most powerful tool for early detection.

Ovarian cancer often "whispers." Pay attention to persistent symptoms like:

• Bloating or increased abdominal size
• Pelvic or abdominal pain
• Difficulty eating or feeling full quickly
• Urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency)

If you experience these signs daily for more than a few weeks, don't dismiss them. An early conversation with your primary care provider or OB/GYN can make all the difference.

September is .

Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection and can quickly become life-threatening. Each year, it impacts more than 1.7 million Americans — but early recognition saves lives.

Our team is dedicated to recognizing and treating sepsis quickly to keep our community safe and healthy.

If you suspect sepsis, seek emergency medical care immediately.

Surgery isn't what it used to be. Think less recovery time, not more. Think smaller incisions, not larger scars.

Our skilled general surgeons utilize the latest in minimally invasive technology, including our advanced Robotic Surgery Program. This means that many procedures — from hernia repair to gallbladder removal — can often be done with greater precision, resulting in less pain and a quicker return to your life.

Experience the future of surgery, right here at CalvertHealth.

Sepsis doesn’t discriminate — it can affect anyone, at any age, and it can develop quickly. The good news? Knowing the signs and acting fast saves lives.

Remember the word TIME:
T – Temperature (higher or lower than normal)
I – Infection (may have signs of infection)
M – Mental decline (confused, sleepy, hard to rouse)
E – Extremely ill (severe pain or discomfort)

If you suspect sepsis, don’t wait — call 911 or get emergency care immediately.
