It's #GivingTuesday!
Our donors make our programs for MedChi members and the general
public possible, and for this, I thank you. Due to the generosity of our
donors, here are some of the Center’s accomplishments over the past year:
- Increased
the number of clients seen by the Physician Health and Rehabilitation
Program to the largest number in years. We hired an additional clinical
manager to accommodate the surge in our case load.
- Created
a Museum of Medicine at MedChi, featuring a display showcasing the
diversity of our Boards of Directors, and items from our collections,
including a 1797-1802 ledger compiled by Francis Sappington, one of the
101 founders, and a number of historic bookplates, collected by Marcia
Noyes, our librarian. Through these displays and collections, we can trace
MedChi’s 223 illustrious years of history and service.
- Hosted
the annual Hunt Lecture and Ethics Lecture, both of which were well
attended and garnered great reviews.
- Conducted
major repairs on our 1909 building, including re-pointing the brickwork on
the façade of the building.
- Investigated
the causes of maternal mortality in Maryland, which continue to increase
year-over-year, despite all best efforts to lower the numbers.
- Conducted
20 domestic violence prevention trainings, attended by 641 participants.
MedChi’s members and friends are also MedChi’s strongest and most loyal
supporters. We value this support and encourage you to make a tax-deductible gift
through the Center for a Healthy Maryland. Your contribution will help the
Center continue to help other physicians who are struggling with addictions and
other issues which are affecting their practices. You can make an on-line contribution here to support the
programs and services of the Center for a Healthy Maryland.
Thank you so much!
