CareFirst opens 2nd business recovery center for Key Bridge collapse relief efforts

CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, one of the largest not-for-profit health care organizations in the nation, opened space in its Baltimore headquarters office April 1 to assist the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) efforts to help businesses affected by the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. The opening of the CareFirst Engagement Center in Baltimore at 1501 South Clinton St. came days after Gov. Wes Moore requested a disaster declaration from the SBA to allow small businesses to apply for federal loans to help make payroll and cover other bills resulting from the closure of Baltimore’s port due to the collapse of the Key Bridge.
