Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon speaks at Sinai Hospital about new Medical Assistance for Families program






Baltimore Mayor Sheila Dixon, City Council President Stephanie Rawlings-Blake and other elected officials joined Sinai Hospital President Neil Meltzer for a recent press conference urging city residents to enroll in a new state program that expands the number of people who are eligible for health coverage under the Medicaid program. More than 19,000 Marylanders have enrolled in the new Medical Assistance for Families program, which provides comprehensive health care to eligible Maryland parents and other family members caring for children.

Maryland Hospital Association President and CEO Carmela Coyle hosted the press conference at Sinai Hospital's ER-7. Dixon and Rawlings-Blake unveiled a new radio ad they cut together.

Since Gov. Martin O?Malley?s Working Families and Small Business Health Care Coverage Act took effect on July 1, more than 19,000 Marylanders have enrolled in the new Medical Assistance for Families program, which provides comprehensive health care to many Maryland parents and other family members caring for children. The radio ad is sponsored by the Maryland Health Care for All! Coalition and Baltimore HealthCare Access.

Tomorrow, Dixon returns to Sinai Hospital for another press conference, this time to kickoff the city's new TreeBaltimore program. As the first business to participate, Sinai Hospital is planting 30 trees around its campus to help increase the neighborhood tree canopy.
