As the local health improvement coalition for St. Mary’s County, HSMP recognizes that our partners are doing many great things to improve the health of St. Mary’s County residents and we want to take the time to highlight this impactful work! Each month, we will spotlight an HSMP partner for outstanding work in improving the health of St. Mary’s County. To kick off this new series and in honor of National Minority Health Month, we are spotlighting the Minority Outreach Coalition!
The Minority Outreach Coalition (MOC) was started in 1999 by a group of concerned citizens as a community involvement association. All MOC members are volunteers from local social, faith-based, or fraternal organizations who are concerned about the communities in which they live. MOC is a partner with the Maryland Office of Minority Health and Health Disparities and serves as the Minority Outreach and Technical Assistance (MOTA) advisor for St. Mary’s County. MOC works to better our community by providing a resource that can actively function as a technical source for information or programs necessary to resolve disparity issues in our community.
