What if getting healthcare didn’t mean leaving your neighborhood and navigating an unfamiliar hospital, but simply walking through the doors of a place you already know and trust?

In Baltimore’s Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood, churches are becoming more than places of worship and community. They’re connecting residents with blood pressure screenings, behavioral health services, substance use support, food assistance, and more.

By meeting people where they are and investing in relationships, a unique network of faith leaders, healthcare providers, nonprofits, and community members is helping residents stay connected to care and take control of their health. Read the full story to see how this partnership is changing what healthcare can look like: https://www.bcf.org/bringing-healthcare-where-trust-lives/

Clergy United for the Transformation of Sandtown West Baltimore Renaissance Foundation LifeBridge Health

A West Baltimore partnership is bringing healthcare into neighborhood churches to connect residents with vital services.

Did you know Maryland is the home of four HBCUs, and two of them are right here in Baltimore? Morgan State University and Coppin State University let's do a roll call please!

These Historically Black Colleges and Universities have opened doors, cultivated Black excellence, and helped generations of students build brighter futures.

We recently spoke with BCF fundholders about what their HBCU experiences mean to them, why they give back, and how they’re investing in the next generation. Among those fundholders are the Simms family (pictured), who each previously or presently attend HBCUs.

Discover how HBCUs continue to shape Baltimore and beyond: https://www.bcf.org/hbcus-normalizing-black-excellence/
