Maryland’s Department of Health - Case Study

Maryland’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) aims to promote and improve the health and safety of all Marylanders through disease prevention, access to care, quality management and community engagement. Public Health Services is a division of Maryland’s DHMH.

Recently, the Maryland Public Health Services Laboratory moved into a six-story laboratory facility, designed to meet LEED Silver designation. “The new public health lab will advance our goal of providing Maryland families the best public health service and protection that modern science and technology can offer,” said Gov. Martin O’Malley. “This state-of-the-art facility maximizes our abilities to protect the health and well-being of all Marylanders under a creative financing agreement that minimizes the cost to taxpayers.”
