In this episode, SMECO Connects host Tom Dennison sits down with Albert Zanger, Chief Administrative Officer of the University of Maryland Charles Regional Medical Center, to talk about leadership, culture, and the future of local health care in Southern Maryland. Albert shares how his team built a "zero-harm" culture, expanded emergency services, and continues to bring world-class care closer to home.

Key themes:

• Building a connected, compassionate workplace culture
• Expanding emergency and specialty care in Southern Maryland
