$15.6 million announced to improve abortion care services in Maryland

MARYLAND – Governor Wes Moore has announced two major investments to improve access to abortion care in Maryland.

In addition to the Moore-Miller Administration’s $5 million FY 2025 allocation to increase Medicaid provider reimbursement for abortion care and reproductive services, the Maryland Department of Health has awarded a $10.6 million grant for Maryland’s Abortion Care Clinical Training Program at the University of Maryland, Baltimore.

The University will use that grant funding to expand the number of healthcare professionals with abortion training and increase diversity among healthcare providers.

“Access to reproductive health care is a fundamental right,” said Governor Moore. “Today, we take another big step forward to protect the health, well-being, and rights of Marylanders – and we will keep working together to ensure that Maryland remains a safe haven for reproductive care.”
