Frederick Memorial Hospital Prenatal Clinic Receives Ausherman Family Trust Grant Recently, the Ausherman Family Trust awarded the FMH Auxiliary Prenatal Center with a check for $50,000 marking the completion of the Trust's two year challenge grant. In October 2010, the Ausherman Family Trust awarded the FMH Auxiliary Prenatal Center with a two year challenge grant to help ensure that underinsured/uninsured women in Frederick County receive comprehensive prenatal services regardless of insurance status or cultural barriers. For each year of the challenge grant, the Ausherman Family Trust agreed to match donations up to $50,000 for a potential of $200,000 generated to this vital service for our community. Thanks to the generous support of the Frederick community and the Ausherman Family Trust, a total of $217,100 was raised to help the Center care for underinsured/uninsured pregnant women in our community.
