Since 2016, Penn-Mar’s Career Ladders program has helped Direct Support Professionals (DSPs) build careers, earn national credentials, and grow into their roles as skilled professionals. 📈 However, the credentials and career growth only tell part of the story. 📖

Thank you to all of our golfers for spending a beautiful fall day with us for a great cause at Hayfields Country Club! Because of your generosity, we raised almost $75,000 to sustain Penn-Mar’s life-changing programs and services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Your support makes it possible for the people we serve to Live Courageously. Thank you again to our sponsors for making this day possible!

Congratulations to our top teams and contest winners of the day for a playing fabulous game of golf!👏 (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place teams are pictured respectively)

Thank you to everyone who advocated to make this issue known and addressed! We are hopeful to see that action is being taken to rectify this and we will keep you updated with any related news.

The remaining regional listening sessions have been canceled following important commitments from the Moore Administration.

The Maryland Department of Health has shared that they have a plan to open a portal this month for providers to submit information about unpaid services dating back to July 1, 2024. The Administration has committed to paying appropriate claims for that period involving gaps in Medicaid waiver coverage that were inconsistent with federal or state requirements. The Governor’s Office has also committed to working with us and the Department to address denials of dedicated hours for those with documented needs.

Thank you to the self-advocates, families, providers, and coalition partners whose collective advocacy has brought us to this point. Your stories, persistence, and partnership have made a difference. We will continue working to ensure these commitments lead to meaningful results and share updates as details become available.
