BCP Executive Vice President Larry Schugam and Communications & Development Associate Virginia Cobler volunteered at the Urban Health Institute's Community Health Initiative table.
The Community Health Initiative is a collaborative effort to improve the health and well-being of residents of all ages who live in East Baltimore through sustainable health collaborations, initially focused on a community health assessment and specific health interventions.
Schugam also helped Earl Johnson, Executive Director of One Green Home at a Time Foundation, pass out hundreds of free children's books as part of One Green Home's Bookmocycle Project.
We would like to thank Elev8 Baltimore, Baltimore Medical System, Johns Hopkins Student Outreach Resource Center (SOURCE), and Johns Hopkins Children's Center for organizing and sponsoring this event.
