Maryland Health Care Coalition

What Maryland Health Care Coalition does

Maryland Health Care Coalition Against Domestic Violence (operating as MDHCC) is a Baltimore-based nonprofit organization that operates under the Center for a Healthy Maryland. The Coalition's stated mission is to provide leadership within the health care community to promote a proactive and effective response to intimate partner violence (IPV). It serves two primary constituencies: health care providers and allied professionals in Maryland (the training audience), and intimate partner violence survivors who interact with the healthcare system (the survivor-facing audience).

The Coalition's offerings center on free virtual and on-site trainings delivered in Maryland to clinicians and allied professionals, covering best practices for identifying and responding to IPV. Its portfolio also includes multilingual educational guides for providers and outreach brochures for patients, a library of wellness and trauma-informed workshops (yoga, nervous system relaxation, nutrition and mindful eating, and nature-based healing), and primary research output, notably the October 2025 IPV Survivor Recommendations for Healthcare report compiled from survivor focus groups. Delivery is human-led by Coalition staff and a Steering Committee of experts who work in both the domestic violence field and the health care industry; no software platform, application, or proprietary technology stack is disclosed.

The revenue model is overwhelmingly contribution-based: training, resources, and most events are free to participants, with only nominal earned revenue noted (e.g., $10 per Social Work CEU credit for some events). Operations are funded through grants, donations via a Givebutter page, and the infrastructure provided by parent organization Center for a Healthy Maryland, with venue support from partner MedChi (Maryland State Medical Society). The organization has 11-50 employees, a single-state geographic footprint, and no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or commercial product distribution.

Directly comparable as a healthcare/IPV training organization, but operating nationally with broader reach.

Others
