About This Cause
The Center for a Healthy Maryland, The Maryland State Medical Society Foundation was established in 1976 as a 501(c)(3) corporation to support the charitable, educational and scientific purposes and functions of MedChi. These include education, quality improvement, health promotion, community outreach, preservation of MedChi history, and public health. We envision a society in which physicians partner with other stakeholders to promote the physical, mental and social well-being of all the citizens of Maryland. The Center for a Healthy Maryland’s public health programs are dedicated to improving the health status of the citizens of Maryland through education, advocacy and linkage to resources. The Physician Health Programs are programs administered by the Center for a Healthy Maryland, The Maryland State Medical Society Foundation, to take cognizance of physicians, physicians assistance and other health professionals inability to practice medicine by reason of physical or mental illness, including but not limited alcoholism or drug dependence. Accountability to the public through assurance of competent care to patients by physicians and other health professionals is a paramount responsibility of organized medicine. The Center supports a range of educational and charitable activities throughout the year including the Maryland Fetal and Infant Mortality Review, the Maryland Physician Health Program and the Dan McDougal Fund, the Hunt Lectureship, History of Maryland Medicine, and the Maryland Physicians Leadership Institute. The Center for a Healthy Maryland is governed by a Board of Trustees, bringing together leaders in medicine, business, faith, education and the community. They work in concert to achieve health goals, create public policy advocacy and disseminate information to benefit the citizens of Maryland,
