Bon Secours of Maryland Foundation Inc
Overview
Bon Secours of Maryland Foundation Inc, also recognized as BSMF, is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting healthcare and community development initiatives in Baltimore, Maryland. The foundation is closely affiliated with Bon Secours Baltimore and operates under the broader umbrella of Bon Secours Mercy Health.
History
The Bon Secours legacy in Baltimore began in 1881 when the Sisters of Bon Secours arrived from France to establish healthcare services in the United States. Over time, the organization expanded its footprint on the east coast while maintaining a strong presence in West Baltimore. The Bon Secours Baltimore Health System, which includes Bon Secours Community Works, has been pivotal in providing holistic community health programs.
Programs and Initiatives
Bon Secours of Maryland Foundation Inc focuses on a range of community services designed to improve health and social determinants for vulnerable populations. Key programs include:
- Job Training: Providing training and certification in healthcare and other fields to enhance employment opportunities.
- Childcare and Youth Programs: Offering early childhood education and support through initiatives like Early Head Start.
- Access to Healthy Foods: Facilitating access to nutritious food options and promoting healthy eating habits.
- Affordable Housing: Developing over 800 affordable housing units to address housing needs.
- Neighborhood Revitalization: Engaging in initiatives to improve living conditions and aesthetics in targeted neighborhoods.
- Returning Citizens Program: Supporting individuals reintegrating into society after incarceration.
Governance and Impact
The foundation's mission is guided by a commitment to provide compassionate and quality health services while addressing broader community needs. With a strong governance structure, Bon Secours of Maryland Foundation Inc collaborates with local leaders to ensure community-driven decision-making. The organization impacts the lives of thousands annually, particularly in West Baltimore's most vulnerable zip codes.
Role in the Community
Bon Secours Community Works, a key subsidiary, plays a vital role in shaping and delivering community programs. Monthly meetings with local leaders help tailor services to meet specific community needs. The organization's commitment to Baltimore has continued even after the sale of Bon Secours Baltimore Hospital in 2019, with renewed investments in community development initiatives.
Funding and Support
As a 501(c)(3) public charity, Bon Secours of Maryland Foundation Inc relies on donations and grants to fund its operations and expand community services. Donor support is crucial for maintaining and enhancing its impact on residents and families in West Baltimore.

While attending an Ohio State football game with more than 104,000 fans in attendance, Bon Secours ICU Nurse, Colby Morris, was enjoying a reunion with his college buddies when his critical care instincts were suddenly called into action. Amid the roar of the crowd and the chaos of game day, he noticed a man lying unresponsive in a breezeway. Without hesitation, Colby rushed to assess the situation. He immediately noted the unmistakable signs of a medical emergency—the man had no pulse, strongly suggesting a cardiac arrest. Colby immediately began CPR, initiating life-saving measures right there in the middle of one of the largest crowds imaginable. The crowd noise was deafening as Ohio State was driving down the field—Colby found himself yelling for help over the roar of tens of thousands. Thankfully, there were American Red Cross volunteers nearby who quickly responded, securing an AED and joining efforts to support the resuscitation. Even over the noise and confusion, Colby took charge of the scene. He directed his friends to help secure a perimeter to give the man space, had a volunteer radio for paramedics, and continued CPR tirelessly. Because the crowd was so loud, Colby couldn’t hear the AED prompts—a volunteer actually had to place her ear to the device to listen to the instructions, ultimately alerting Colby that a shock was imminent. The man was shocked twice and, with continued CPR, regained a pulse after the second shock. Colby has since spoken with the man he saved, who is now recovering. The patient joked with Colby, saying, “The cardiologist told me the broken ribs were from good CPR—so I guess, thanks, man.” Colby not only saved a life but also modeled exactly what it means to be a nurse, whether in the ICU or in the middle of a stadium with 100,000 people. I shared with Colby that this reminds us that nursing doesn’t stop when the shift ends—it’s a calling, and Colby answered it in the most incredible way.
