Western Maryland faces significant challenges when accessing critical medical care – transportation and lack of providers together impact 50% of residents. The U.S. Army and collaborating organizations are currently hosting the Mountain Maryland Medical Mission, a no-cost medical clinic at the Allegany County Fairgrounds through August 5.
The event stems from a need to keep military medical providers deployment-ready and offer a unique opportunity to address local social drivers of health. This Wednesday, CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield (CareFirst) will proudly bring its employees to volunteer alongside staff to aid the community.
What: No-cost medical clinic for the community with CareFirst volunteers.

Who: CareFirst and military representatives available for interviews

- Anthony Jones, Vice President of External Affairs, CareFirst
Where: Allegany County Fairgrounds (11400 Moss Ave, Cumberland, Maryland)
When: Now through August 5, CareFirst volunteers and representatives July 31.
Why: To meet the needs of the community and keep service members deployment-ready.
