Patients At Salisbury Facility Found Malnourished

Officials at a Salisbury facility for people with developmental disabilities say they have corrected problems that caused patients on feeding tubes to become malnourished.

A routine survey by the Maryland Office of Health Care Quality uncovered the problems last fall. Director Wendy Kronmiller says the findings "were extraordinarily serious."

The facility, the Holly Center, continues to be closely monitored by state officials and patient advocates.

The Holly Center was not penalized and Kronmiller says it is not at risk of losing federal funding.
