“The Mead Maternal Health & Preventive Care Center at Mercy offers one high standard of care, in one convenient location, to two vulnerable populations: at-risk expectant mothers and high-risk chronically ill patients. Thanks to the foundation’s support, Baltimore’s neediest will receive comprehensive pre-natal services, on-site chronic disease diagnostics and treatment, robust patient navigation and education, and referrals to community resources that will help address socio-economic barriers to wellness. The foundation’s partnership in this work will have tremendous impact on people’s health outcomes.”

“The foundation’s support has provided us the opportunity to meet needs expressed by families and early childhood professionals and educators in southwest Baltimore. We expanded on our math and STEAM enrichment and are partnering with Arundel Judy Center to offer tangible learning resources to parents of young children. We are invigorated by the ability to broaden our support of our youngest community members and the adults in their lives!”

“The foundation is making a difference in the lives of children in Baltimore. The foundation’s support of UMBC’s work in southwest Baltimore is helping ensure that all children – from their earliest ages–have a chance to thrive in school and live rich full lives.”
