We are proud to work alongside Baltimore leaders in a health and economic recovery jobs program to trace transmission of the coronavirus in the city we call home, stop the pandemic in its tracks and help communities across the city thrive.

The Baltimore Health Corps project draws on Jhpiego’s decades of expertise building resilient health systems, the experience of city government leaders, the support of Johns Hopkins University, and the generosity of The Rockefeller Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies and a deep roster of local changemakers.

“Bringing together Jhpiego’s internationally renowned expertise in health workforce development and infectious disease prevention, the experience of Baltimore officials, the support of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health—a leader in the nation’s COVID-19 response—and local civic institutions positions this to be a one-of-a-kind effort and opportunity,” says Jhpiego President and CEO Leslie Mancuso. “For nearly 50 years and in more than 155 countries, Jhpiego has been a leader in creating transformative health care solutions. We are honored to partner with city officials to help ensure Baltimore families are healthy and safe.”
