Annual Report to Governor & General Assembly due Dec. 1 (Chapter 708, Acts of 2018).

In July 2018, the Task Force on the Social Determinants of Health in Baltimore City was established by the General Assembly (Chapter 708, Acts of 2018).

The Task Force charge was to identify and examine those negative social factors that cause hardship for Baltimore City residents; span generations; and are cyclical in nature. For those residents and their communities, the Task Force also was to develop and implement solutions that improve those social, material, economic and physical conditions in which the residents live, work, play, and worship, resulting in a thriving, high-quality of life.

Five subcommittees carried out the work of the Task Force. They focused on Civil Unrest and Social Justice; Education; Health and Human Services; Housing; and Workforce Development and Jobs. Each Subcommittee Chair was chosen by the Task Force Co-Chairs.

Members of the Task Force were appointed by the Advisory Board for the Task Force on the Social Determinants of Health in Baltimore City. The President of the University of Maryland, Baltimore, chose the Task Force Co-Chairs.

The Task Force was discontinued in February 2025, and authorization for the Task Force ended June 30, 2025.
