Join the Chamber Energy Purchasing Cooperative
September 6 - October 1
There is no better time for members to enroll in the Chamber Energy Purchasing Cooperative Program and gain price stability, budget control and peace-of-mind.
The Dorchester Chamber of Commerce has partnered with nationally recognized energy management experts, CQI Associates, to administer and manage the Chamber Energy Purchasing Cooperative. Competitive rates are obtained by leveraging aggregated usage from members of 23 Chambers of Commerce. The group purchasing power allows members to receive lower rates than they could typically attain on their own.
Since 2004, the Cooperative electricity rates have been lower than both market rates and the weighted annual utility standard offer service rates. During our previous campaigns, participants saw an average annual savings of $4,000. Natural gas rates were also lower on average than market rates and utility monthly winter peak indexed rates.
TAKE ACTION! REGISTER NOW in the current campaign which runs from September 6, 2021 to October 1, 2021.
If you have any questions or require additional details, please contact Joe Tabeling with CQI Associates at joe@cqiassociates.com or 443-472-3870.

Dorchester Chamber of Commerce Takes a Bow at 100 Years Old |
|
It says something about a community when its Chamber of commerce turns 100 years old. Beyond the countless ribbon cuttings and business-related seminars, a strong chamber signifies a level of commitment to a certain place that fosters a sense of reasonability and caring that not only impacts local businesses but the general health and wellbeing for all who reside in those towns and counties.
So when an institution like the Dorchester Chamber of Commerce becomes a century old, there are good reasons for the whole community to celebrate its important role. And that’s what is going to take place this Saturday on the Lawn of Governors Hall in Cambridge.
And there is plenty to celebrate that day. As Bill Christopher, the Chamber’s president and CEO, tells it in his Spy interview from their new headquarters on High Street, the Dorchester Chamber’s history is a textbook example of how a handful of individuals can change the course for a city like Cambridge.
The first of these was real estate executive Robert Matthews. In 1921, Matthews single-handedly created the Chamber when Dorchester, particularly the city of Cambridge, was losing out to the Western Shore of Maryland in attracting new businesses. As noted by Christopher, Bob Matthews was a force of nature in town. His fingerprints can be found on almost every part of Cambridge’s recent history, including founding the yacht club, the country club, what is now M and T Bank, while also the treasurer for the County and a member of the Dorchester school board.

Fundraising for each group’s community service projects have been affected over the past 18 months due to COVID-19.

This is the first time the three groups have worked together on an event.

Celebrated All-Female Band Lez Zeppelin to Appear in Cambridge |
CAMBRIDGE — Critically acclaimed all-female rock band Lez Zeppelin will appear in concert in Cambridge on Sunday, Sept. 26, as a part of a gala festival sponsored by WHCP Radio.
“We are thrilled to be able to bring such a major talent to Cambridge and to the Midshore area,” said WHCP founder and general manager Mike Starling. “Lez Zeppelin has played to huge audiences on the biggest stages around the world,” Starling said, “and it is a rare opportunity for folks on the Eastern Shore to hear a band of this renown.”
Staying true to the musical boldness of Led Zeppelin, the women of Lez Zeppelin deliver the legendary rock band’s blistering arrangements and monstrous sound note-for-note at sold-out shows around the world. Lez Zeppelin has been featured on the BBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, MTV, VH-1, FOX and radio shows worldwide, such as Sirius XM and NPR. The New York Times said, “This all-girl quartet pays tribute to its swaggering namesake Led Zeppelin, ripping through the catalogue with blazing accuracy.”

September is Pain Awareness Month |
September is National Pain Awareness Month, a time when pain specialists and advocates promote pain education and raise awareness about issues related to chronic pain. Many people who suffer from chronic pain do so silently. They hide their pain because of the stigma surrounding chronic pain. The goal of Pain Awareness Month is to break down the barriers to effective pain management, reduce stigma, and create a greater understanding of chronic pain among healthcare providers, patients, and the community.

TidalHealth Hospitals Earn National Recognition for Efforts to Improve Cardiovascular Treatment |
TidalHealth has received two American Heart Association (AHA) Achievement Awards for implementing quality improvement measures at their Salisbury, MD and Seaford, DE hospitals that ensure cardiovascular patients receive efficient and coordinated care, ultimately leading to more lives saved, shorter recovery times and fewer readmissions.
TidalHealth Peninsula Regional is the 2021 recipient of the AHA and American Stroke Association Get with the Guidelines-Stroke Gold PLUS with Honor Roll Achievement Award. TidalHealth Nanticoke also received the same award but was also additionally presented with the Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll. The added designation for the Seaford hospital means TidalHealth Nanticoke met quality measures developed with more than 90% of compliance for 12 consecutive months for the “Overall Diabetes Cardiovascular Initiative Composite Score.” Nearly half of all adults in the U.S. have experienced some form of cardiovascular disease – including heart attack, stroke and heart failure. For patients with conditions that are severe enough to be transported or admitted to a hospital, time is critical.

TidalHealth Peninsula Regional Temporarily Pauses Elective Surgeries and Procedures, See more |
TidalHealth Peninsula Regional and the surgeons practicing there announced today that there will be a temporary pause in elective, non-emergency surgeries that require an overnight stay for at least a two-week period starting Monday, September 13. All non-emergency, non-life-threatening surgeries requiring an overnight stay will be evaluated by a multidisciplinary clinical team and those that can be postponed will be. Patients affected by the pause are being notified ahead of time by their surgeon’s office. Several factors have combined recently to put stress on hospital staffing levels and hospital bed capacity at both TidalHealth hospitals in Salisbury and Seaford. While the pause in elective surgeries is only at TidalHealth Peninsula Regional, the same criteria is being evaluated daily with physician leadership at TidalHealth Nanticoke.

University of Maryland Medical System Implementing $15 per Hour Minimum Wage |
Approximately 1,500 Team Members Will Be Receiving Pay Increase
BALTIMORE (September 10, 2021) – The University of Maryland Medical System (UMMS) today announced a new commitment to better serve the communities in which our team members live and work, with a new minimum wage of $15 per hour. This increase will result in approximately 1,500 employees, or five percent of the System’s workforce, receiving a pay increase.
“Investing in our team members is an investment in our future and in our communities,” said Mohan Suntha, MD, MBA, President and CEO of UMMS. “We are committed to providing equitable pay for our team members and investing in the people who carry out our mission every day. Our System has embarked upon a very purposeful effort to become a destination employer for top talent by fostering an engaged, inclusive and diverse workforce.”
The System’s minimum wage increase is effective with the pay period that begins on September 12 and is applicable for all full and part-time team members who are not represented by a union. Team members making below $15 per hour will now be paid the greater of $15 per hour or a two percent increase in their wages. This move comes more than three years ahead of when Maryland plans to increase the state’s minimum wage to $15 per hour.
