We are proud to support community education through a recent donation of Polyurethane foam to one of our Vascular Surgeons, Dr. Clinton Protack. Dr. Protack used the material to teach Boy Scout Troop 35 - one of Baltimore’s oldest and largest troops - how to suture wounds during their First Aid Fest at the Church of the Redeemer.

The event brought together 29 Boy Scouts, 6 Cub Scouts and 3 Girl Scouts to learn essential first-aid skills, including CPR, head injury care, fracture management, eye injury response and laceration repair. This hands-on experience is an excellent example of how health care professionals and community organizations can work together to build knowledge and confidence in lifesaving skills.

In December, our Team Member Experience “Cheer Cart” visited our Family Birthplace and 3 West Unit, bringing treats such as Doritos, pretzels, fruit snacks and stress balls. Team members also received positivity capsules with uplifting quotes, which many appreciated as a welcome boost. Some inspiring quotes included "Start each day with a grateful heart" and "It always seems impossible until it is accomplished." Thank you for your continued strength and kindness, UM UCH team! We’ll return soon to support our health care heroes.
