Updates & Information

Our current world is vastly different from what it was just a month ago. And it will never be the same. But we are working to make it better for you, for our neighbors, for our fellow citizens and for our friends. For MedChi's most up-to-date information on the COVID-19 virus, please click here

MedChi is partnering with the Dr. John Ruhräh Elementary/Middle School, No. 228, located in one of Baltimore's poorest neighborhoods, to help provide food for the students who come from 70 different countries. More than 80% of this city public school students' food intake comes from school programs, and without  regular school meals, these children are going hungry. If you would like to make a contribution to help provide much-needed meals for these children, please click here.

Our friends and neighbors at the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra are still playing! The BSO Off-Stage website has archived performances, podcasts with insights about your favorite pieces of music, at-home sessions with musicians, as well as educational videos and activities for school children.

We want your stories. As a repository of the History of Medicine in Maryland, we would like to archive as many stories of the COVID-19 pandemic as possible. In our medical journals from the 1918-1919 Spanish Flu, we have details of what our physicians were doing, how our hospitals coped and what life was like here in Maryland. Thinking ahead to those looking back to this time, we would like to be able collect and archives stories of what your life was like during this unusual time. All stories will be printed on archival paper, bound and stored with our historic medical journal collection. Please send your stories, photographs or any other memories here.

From everyone at the Center for a Healthy Maryland, please stay safe.
