Our next Baltimore Voices: features Pastor Gary Dittman, CUCC community member and Pastor at Amazing Grace Lutheran Church. ✨

“In this political moment, Baltimore’s values of celebrating cultural diversity and opportunity, especially for our immigrant neighbors, are being challenged,” he shares. “UHI’s work to strengthen health equity and safety is especially important right now.”

As UHI marks 25 years, Pastor Gary reflects on the courage it takes to build trust between Johns Hopkins University and East Baltimore, and the responsibility to keep dialogue, accountability, and community at the center of that work. 🤝

✨ Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ✨

Dr. King reminded us that justice is not passive. It requires care, courage, and collective action. Today, as communities continue to face health inequities and barriers to opportunity, his call to serve and uplift one another remains deeply relevant.

As Johns Hopkins University marks MLK Day of Service over the next two weeks, the Urban Health Institute is excited to join in, showing up for our communities and advancing health equity through action. ❤️

How will you carry forward the spirit of service today?
