1st Choice Strengthening Maryland’s Local Health Departments
Maryland’s communities are diverse, multilingual, and rapidly evolving, and public health needs are evolving right along with them. At 1st Choice, we are proud to partner with local health departments across the state to ensure every resident has access to high‑quality, culturally responsive care.
Our teams support residents who speak Spanish, Mandarin, Russian, Creole, Korean, Bengali, Hindi, Urdu, Cantonese, and many other languages represented across Maryland’s neighborhoods. When people can communicate in their own language, they feel seen, respected, and understood, and that connection directly improves health outcomes.
Every day, 1st Choice professionals are embedded inside local health departments delivering essential services. Our nurses and nurse monitors support chronic disease management and home‑based care. Social workers conduct assessments and help families navigate complex needs. Psychiatrists and behavioral health specialists provide critical mental health support. Our teams also strengthen dental clinics, infectious disease programs, internal medicine units, maternal and child health services, and community outreach initiatives.
This work matters. It keeps clinics fully staffed. It reduces wait times. It ensures vulnerable populations receive timely, compassionate care. And it allows public health programs to reach deeper into communities that have historically been underserved.
The impact is visible:
Residents are receiving care in their own language.
Families are accessing services they once struggled to reach.
Communities are healthier, stronger, and more connected.
As a Maryland‑based, minority‑ and woman‑owned firm, 1st Choice is committed to advancing equity, access, and community well‑being. This is more than staffing; it is public health transformation, delivered one professional, one clinic, and one community at a time.
