The 2021 Virtual Kidney Walk is coming up soon! For those of you who have participated in the Western Maryland Kidney Walks in the past, you may have noticed that we haven't had one in a few years.

This year, we have a team with the Baltimore Walk. The plan is to get one back in Western Maryland next year, but now is the time to show support for the one that's going to help support the patients in our area.

Please click on the link below and donate.

Please join the team and raise money.

And please contact us if you would like to be involved in the efforts to bring an in-person (hopefully) Kidney Walk back to Western Maryland.

Help support National Kidney Foundation today!

ATTN: Washington County residents age 65 and older. NOW two ways for you to be scheduled for a COVID-19 vaccine appointment through Meritus Health! NOTE: Appointments are only made available when additional supplies of vaccine come from the state:

1) MyChart patient portal - Have an active account? County residents age 65 and older may self-schedule as appointments become available. The easiest and fastest way to schedule your appointment.

2) County residents 65 and older who have previously received services from Meritus Health practices, the hospital, etc. - If we have your email address on file, you will receive an activation code to open a MyChart account to self-schedule as appointments are made available.

3) NEW online form here: www.MeritusHealth.com/covidvaccine
If you are a Washington County resident age 65 and older, fill it in, submit it and wait for a call to be scheduled for an appointment. Yes - If you know someone who wants to be scheduled for a vaccine appointment and is a county resident age 65 and older, fill in and submit the form for him/her. NOTE: With expected high volume of forms being submitted, the call to schedule an appointment could take up to several weeks.

Thank you for your continued patience as we work to get as many people in the community vaccinated quickly and safely.
