A big thank you to all our donors and corporate partners who participated in the Fall 2012 Workplace Giving campaign.  Your generous contributions continue to support Maryland's most trusted health charities!

1. Did you know? 1,490,566 Marylanders are served annually by Community Health Charities of Maryland member health organizations.

2. More than half of Americans suffer from one or more chronic diseases.Chronic diseases account for 70% of all deaths in the U.S.

  • 26 have high blood pressure
  • 30 have high cholesterol
  • 21 smoke
  • 31 use alcohol excessively

4. More than 50 million people provide care for a chronically ill, disabled, or aged family member or friend during any given year.

5. For the cost of...

  • $1 per two-week pay period, you can send a child with epilepsy to a morning of summer camp.
  • $10, you can provide diabetes risk tests to 500 individuals.

At the age of 10, Taylor Harbin was diligently working toward a three year goal of Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. He began complaining of aches and pains in his joints which his parents attributed to the many hours of practice. As time progressed, he began to refuse his little brother’s request to go outside and play. Eventually the pain progressed until he could not get out of bed by himself.
