We partner with faith-based and community organizations to reach people who face barriers in accessing health care. We provide on-the-spot tests and counseling and connect people to the health supports they need.We also offer free classes, community events and support groups to educate and empower people. We cover topics such as diabetes, quitting smoking, breastfeeding, mental health and more., A Tailored Approach to Community Health
Our community health providers and educators come from the areas we serve. We respect and embrace diversity and tailor our health advice to fit your everyday challenges.
Our approach is not one-size-fits-all. We start by connecting with our local health partners to deeply understand the needs and strengths of our communities.
We talk to our frontline providers, patients and community leaders. Then, we design our services to meet the specific gaps and challenges they identify.
We bring education and easy-to-access services to neighborhoods, residences, schools and community groups. By doing this we help people avoid serious health problems.
We inspire people to live healthier lives and connect people to supportive caregivers. Community — it brings us all together.
Leadership Bio
Sheppard Pratt and AAMC have selected Rod L. Kornrumpf, FACHE, to serve as vice president of behavioral health at AAMC to help lead the management of the new 16-bed mental health hospital, partial hospitalization program, and Pathways business operations. Kornrumpf will also help oversee the associated clinics, facilities, and staff. He previously served as the regional executive director for behavioral health for the University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Health/Union Hospital joint partnership.
“The partnership with Sheppard Pratt reflects our commitment to bringing the best resources to our community,” said Sherry B. Perkins, PhD, RN, FAAN, president of AAMC. “Sheppard Pratt has been a trusted resource of ours for many years, and we look forward to partnering with them to meet the growing behavioral health needs in our community.”
“Few health care needs are more misunderstood than those involving mental health,” said Kornrumpf. “Through the J. Kent McNew Family Medical Center, we are not only increasing critically needed mental health services in the region, but we are signaling a new era in which mental health is recognized as essential to overall health and is a true health care priority. I’m honored to be a part of this legacy.”
