Over the last five years, the Commission has awarded 122 grants, totaling $31 million, supporting programs in all 24 jurisdictions of the state. These grants have collectively provided access to health care services to more than 138,000 Marylanders. In addition to its grantmaking activities, the CHRC jointly implements the Maryland Health Enterprise Zones (HEZ) Initiative with DHMH and supports the State Health Improvement Process.

    (1) Promoting comprehensive women’s health services and reducing infant mortality rates;
    (2) Expanding access to dental care;
    (3) Supporting new access points and expanding primary care capacity;
    (4) Functionally integrating behavioral health services;
    (5) Building safety net provider capacity; and

    In recent years, the Commission has worked with DHMH to support programs that will help reduce infant mortality, expand access to dental care for low-income children, increase access to behavioral health services in the community, and invest in health information technology.
     
    “The Department appreciates the work of the CHRC to increase the capacity of safety net providers to deliver care in the community,” commented Dr. Joshua M. Sharfstein, DHMH Secretary. “The Commission’s grants will help support Maryland’s overall goals of improving health outcomes and controlling health care costs.”
