Currently, 80+ staff members receive bi-annual basic life support (BLS) training through outside organizations and often have to work around oddly timed class schedules. We want to make this process easier by certifying two Health Care for the Homeless staff members to conduct the skills portion of the training at 421 Fallsway.
Any staff member who is interested in becoming one of the two certified BLS instructors and who meets the criteria below is encouraged to apply here by Wednesday, March 28.
In order to self-nominate, you must meet the following eligibility criteria:
The two staff members selected to become instructors will be required to undergo supervisor training in April, paid for by Health Care for the Homeless, in order to begin conducting staff trainings in June. Applicants will need to be available for one afternoon a month from 2-5 p.m. While it is preferred, current instructor certification is not mandatory. Obtaining certification as an instructor will be required if you are selected to be an instructor under this program.
Since this is an extra duty that requires certification, instructors will receive a monthly stipend paid during months that they provide instruction. Details will be discussed with instructors upon selection.
Once on-site certification launches in June, staff members requiring BLS certification/recertification will be able to take the online course through the new LMS, and then take their skills test with one of the two identified instructors.
Please email Tosha Hershey or Eric Fogt with questions.

This year's National Health Care for the Homeless conference was the largest in history, with over 1,100 attendees—including eight of our very own HCHers! Staff and clients presented on our work ending homelessness here in Baltimore. Check out photos and more from the 2024 Conference below.
Since January, more than 15 staff members have ventured into new roles in the agency. See who they are and what they are looking forward to most.
Earlier this year, two staff members were recognized for their leadership with a grant from the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation. The grant supports leaders of color from organizations supported by the Foundation.
