We want to give Pete Ballard, a team member in Environmental Services here at UM UCH, a big congratulations! Pete earned silver medals in Super-G and Giant Slalom – both alpine skiing events – at this year’s Special Olympics Maryland Winter Games. “I enjoyed it,” Pete said.

Pete has been an active athlete for years and competes in a wide range of sports. Currently, Pete is playing basketball, and in the greener months, he’ll be out on the fields for golf and flag football.

We’re proud to have a dedicated and talented athlete like Pete on our team. Keep reaching for new heights, Pete!
