Caitlin Mcfarland Obituary, Death – We are deeply saddened to inform you of the passing of Dr. Caitlin McFarland, who served as the Director of Psychiatry at West Cecil Health Center. Our hearts are heavy as we make this announcement. Early this morning, on Wednesday, December 7, 2022, Dr. McFarland was a passenger in a vehicle that was involved in a fatal car accident. We will always remember her dedication to her work, her passion for meeting the mental health needs of her patients, and her tenacious advocacy for mental health education among gender minorities. Her memory will live on in our hearts and minds forever. During this extremely trying time, we would like to extend our deepest condolences to her family as well as her patients and coworkers. She was a dedicated member of the West Cecil Health Care family’s team, and as a result, she garnered a great deal of admiration and respect. She will be sorely missed by all of us.
If you are a patient of Dr. McFarland’s, the West Cecil Health Center would like you to know that we have therapists who are available for you to speak with. In the event that you are having difficulty, please do not be reluctant to call us for support at the number 410-378-9696. If it becomes necessary, we will do everything in our power to connect you with another WCHC provider or with other community resources. In addition, our medical staff will assist you in getting your prescriptions refilled until we can link you up with additional care. We are working through a transition that is very challenging for our team, and we appreciate your understanding and patience as we do so.
