Maryland CPR classes created by AHA trained physicians

Unlike most other CPR/AED online courses, our course was both written and approved by AHA trained U.S board certified physicians. You can feel confident in the quality of our CPR/AED course.

Health Information for Medical Professionals in Maryland

According to www.americashealthrankings.org, Maryland was ranked 19th in overall health in 2012 and has increased significantly from 24th in 2011. The life expectancy is 78.09 years, which is slightly longer than the national average of 78.7 years.

When it comes to healthcare spending, Maryland is ranked 14th, spending approximately $96 per person. Maryland is ranked 19th in insurance. The number of people living without insurance is 13.3% and has remained relatively stable over the last decade. The availability of primary care physicians is the second highest-ranked in the nation, with approximately 173.8 PCPs per 100,000 residents, which is appreciably higher than the national average of 121.

As of 2010 approximately 8.6% of adults in Maryland are living below poverty level. The percentage of children living in poverty is 11.3%, ranking Maryland the seventh-best in the country in this category. Over the past decade, the rate of adults living in poverty has increased less than 1% while the rate of children has actually decreased by 2% in the past year alone.

Due to a moderately high prevalence for sedentary lifestyle, approximately 1.2 million adults (or 28.3% of the population) are considered obese. With a ranking of 29th, this number indicates an increase of nearly 8% since 2002. With a ranking of 22nd, Maryland also has a moderate percentage of obesity among children with 12% of the adolescent population considered obese. Taking into account the percentage of obese individuals, it is no surprise that 9.5% of adults in Maryland are living with diabetes, also ranking it 22nd in the country in this category. This number has been increasing over the last ten years, up from 6.9% in 2002. The incidence of stroke is approximately 2.6%, which is slightly higher than the national average of 2.1%.

With only 19.1% of the population (850 thousand people) smoking, Maryland has the 11th lowest ranking in the country and has actually had a decrease of 2% in the last decade. Roughly 18% of the population participates in binge drinking, giving Maryland a ranking of 23rd, which although not extremely high, indicates a more than 4% increase since 2011 alone.

With the strengths being low prevalence for smoking, low rates of adolescent poverty and a high availability of PCPs, Maryland is still struggling with a high prevalence for air pollution, violent crime and infant mortality.
