With its deepest roots originating in 1868, Diakon’s history includes the legacy of service of such additional organizations as Lutheran Social Services of Maryland, Baltimore. Working in approximately 40 service centers and senior living communities in the area, some 1,500 Diakon staff members bring hope, hospitality, and healing to thousands of people every day.
