“We were delighted to have 100% participation at the dinner and officially welcome our newest board members, Brian Silvea and Aaron Atkinson,” said MIH Executive Director Tim Wiens. “Thanks also to Chris Knoerlein for leading everyone through an inspiring and creative team-building exercise. Nights like these strengthen the bonds, culture, and collaborative spirit that drive the impactful work we deliver every day.”

MIH’s Lauren Silverstone, Sarah Hochbaum and Ahmna Khan were on hand at last week’s Maryland Department of Health Technology First event!

The fifth annual event brought together technology vendors and service providers to show Marylanders with disabilities what’s possible through assistive technology and remote support services.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this informative event possible!
