Mike Ricci, a spokesman for Hogan, who is term limited and cannot seek reelection, said transferring services from the chronic care hospitals to community providers, from 2022 to 2026, is part of the administration’s“The state is in the process of implementing a public health facilities plan — released more than a year ago after extensive dialogue — to improve care and services for patients,” Ricci said in a statement.
