Conversation with Alyssa Lord, Deputy Secretary for Behavioral Health at the Maryland Department of Health

Maryland Philanthropy Network’s Behavioral Health Workgroup is pleased to host Deputy Secretary Alyssa Lord for lunch and an informal conversation on her efforts to work collaboratively across local, city, state, and federal public and private sectors to improve the implementation of care coordination services by establishing and expanding community behavioral health programs. She will speak on Maryland Department of Health’s (MDH) strategies focused on mental health and substance abuse treatment resources for young people. We will explore ways to help support these efforts to provide appropriate and adequate behavioral health services for the youth population in the state.

Deputy Secretary Lord brings more than 20 years of experience in community and population health. Ms. Lord earned master’s degrees from New York University and the London School of Economics. We are grateful to Deputy Secretary Lord’s willingness to share an update of her department’s initiatives since her visit last year. 

This meeting is for all Maryland Philanthropy Network members and invited guests only. In person attendance is encouraged and lunch will be served.
