Center for a Healthy Maryland

What Center for a Healthy Maryland does

The Center for a Healthy Maryland (CHMD) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1976 as the charitable arm of MedChi, the Maryland State Medical Society, and headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. The organization operates three programmatic pillars: Healthcare Workforce Well-Being (the Maryland Physician Health Program, Maryland Professional Rehabilitation Program, Maryland Healthcare Professionals Program, and the Dan H. McDougal MD Fund), Trauma-Informed Healthcare Systems (the Domestic Violence Prevention Program, HealthandDV.org, and Survivors Wellness Project), and Health Workforce Development (the Bridge the Gap mentorship program). Its core customer segments are physicians and allied healthcare professionals needing confidential support for burnout, substance use, mental health, and licensing concerns; domestic violence survivors and healthcare providers responding to intimate partner violence; and underrepresented students pursuing healthcare careers.

CHMD's products and services are delivered through a combination of in-person programming at three Baltimore office locations, statewide on-site partnerships with hospitals, schools, and community organizations, and self-serve digital portals (notably HealthandDV.org). Supporting infrastructure includes the Lemons to Lemonade CME lecture series, the Annual Ethics Lecture, the Physician Stress Survey screening tool, and a YouTube channel for recorded content. Technology stack consists of WordPress-based web properties, event registration systems, Givebutter-powered donation flows, and Zoom-based remote sessions, with no proprietary software product or AI/ML capabilities.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid model: donations and charitable contributions from individuals and grantmakers (notably the Maryland Board of Physicians), program participation fees for the physician health programs ($650 administrative case-opening fee plus $200 monthly case management fees), and grants for specific initiatives such as domestic violence prevention in Prince George's County. Go-to-market is sales-led through direct engagement with healthcare organizations, schools, hospitals, and community nonprofits statewide, supplemented by referral relationships with the Maryland Board of Physicians and partnerships with anchor institutions including Johns Hopkins, University of Maryland, Morgan State University, and MedStar Health.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Federation of State Physician Health Programs (FSPHP): National membership organization for state physician health programs like CHMD's MPHP. Directly comparable in mission (physician wellness, rehabilitation, monitoring) and program design, making it the closest national peer.
• Massachusetts Physician Health Services: State-level PHP serving Massachusetts physicians with confidential evaluation, treatment referral, and monitoring—essentially the same operational model as CHMD's MPHP/MPRP/MHPP programs, just in a different state.
• Pennsylvania Physicians' Health Programs (PPHP): Pennsylvania's PHP providing confidential assistance to physicians and other healthcare professionals dealing with impairment, mental health, or substance use issues. Direct functional equivalent to CHMD's physician health portfolio.
• California Physicians Health Program (Physicians Aid Association / CPHPS): California's physician health program offering assessment, treatment referral, and monitoring. Operates the same PHP model as CHMD and serves as a state-level parallel.
• Futures Without Violence: National nonprofit focused on health sector response to domestic violence, including training healthcare providers. Directly comparable to CHMD's Domestic Violence Prevention Program and MDHCC coalition work.

Regional players

• Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault (MCASA): Maryland-based coalition addressing interpersonal violence with healthcare and community components. Shares geographic footprint and the trauma-informed healthcare mission with CHMD's DV program.

Broad incumbents

• American Medical Association Foundation: Charitable arm of the AMA supporting physician health and medical education. Structurally comparable to CHMD as the nonprofit arm of a state/national medical society (CHMD being MedChi's arm).
• Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC): National association addressing physician workforce diversity, medical education, and pipeline programs. Operates at broader scale than CHMD's Bridge the Gap but addresses the same diversity-in-medicine problem.

Emerging players

• National Hispanic Medical Association: National organization focused on Hispanic physician representation and health workforce development. Overlaps with CHMD's Bridge the Gap mission of increasing underrepresented minorities in medicine.

Others

• Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) Workforce Programs: Federal agency funding health workforce development and pipeline programs targeting underrepresented students. A major potential grant counterpart/funding source rather than a direct competitor, but addresses the same underlying Bridge the Gap problem.
