Maryland Commission on Health Equity
In 2021, the Maryland General Assembly passed the Shirley Nathan-Pulliam Health Equity Act. This Act established the Maryland Commission on Health Equity (MCHE) and charged it with advising state officials on issues of racial, ethnic, cultural, and socioeconomic health disparities. Additional legislation was passed in subsequent years to expand MCHE membership and add additional focus areas for the commission to consider. MHHD Director Camille Blake Fall, JD sits on the Commission alongside members of the public; including professionals from academia, healthcare, industry, and more.
