In July 2018, the Task Force on the Social Determinants of Health in Baltimore City was established by the General Assembly (Chapter 708, Acts of 2018).
The Task Force is to identify and examine those negative social factors that cause hardship for Baltimore City residents; span generations; and are cyclical in nature. For those residents and their communities, the Task Force is to develop and implement solutions that improve those social, material, economic and physical conditions in which the residents live, work, play, and worship, resulting in a thriving, high-quality of life.
Five subcommittees carry out the work of the Task Force. They focus on Civil Unrest and Social Justice; Education; Health and Human Services; Housing; and Workforce Development and Jobs. Each Subcommittee Chair is chosen by the Task Force Co-Chairs.
Members of the Task Force are appointed by the Advisory Board. The President of the University of Maryland, Baltimore, chooses the Task Force Co-Chairs.
