What is “Together - Let’s Support our Neighborhood Hospital” ?

• The Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center (JHHCMC) is launching an initiative, "Together, Let's support our Neighborhood Hospital" to raise the awareness in our community of the needs of JHHCMC.
• Our mission is to engage communities, schools, businesses, and organizations to get the word out concerning the hospital’s needs while providing a mechanism to support the financial goals of the hospital.    
• Through community fundraising, our goal is to raise funds for the hospital in support of the Emergency Room Behavioral Health Unit (BHU).  

Why are we doing this?

• Maryland has the longest emergency department (ED) wait times in the United States. 
• Article about the wait times in the state of Maryland: Click Here
• Average wait time in the Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center is 9 hours.
• Through hospital expansion efforts, these JHHCMC wait times can be reduced.

Why would I care?

• Everybody wants to live in a happy healthy vibrant community.
• At some point in time, everybody may have a need to use the Emergency Department (ED). 
• The goal is to reduce wait times by optimizing the physical capacity of the emergency department and expanding the ED’s Behavioral Health Unit (BHU).
• Ultimately, this issue is a community issue.
